Here we go again…
Topic initiated by Thiky on the previous forum, I believe it’s necessary to preserve information about all decals that can be used historically on the different vehicles in War Thunder and thus to restore the history of the different units of the 20th and 21st century.
Let’s get started.
“Seahorse” emblem of the 3./Bordfliegergruppe 196 :
This decal was available during the period between the 18th August to the 15th September 2022. The condition to get it was : defeat 40 players in ground vehicles (20 in RB and SB) while controlling German aircraft.
Ugly decal however I do agree it can be implemented into the game since it has historical background. I do think it should be 40AB / 20RB players in naval vehicles using German aircraft since it is a scouting naval fighter, you wouldn’t see this thing in combat over land much.
Bird emblem, 1 Stormo CT, Italy
From what I can find out, the 1º Stormo only used this this circular bird insignia between around 1923-1925, however I think their later one with an octagonal shape with an archer was unlockable in the past, and that one has more usability ingame on various fighters.
It was last unlockable in 2020 with the objective “Score 1st place in 5 battles while controlling Italian aircraft”
I did find a photo of a Fiat C.R.20 (not ingame) sporting this early insignia though:
“Fox Head” emblem, SPA 84 Squadron, FAF :
Spad VII - escadrille SPA 84
Mirage III C n° 13 (10-SS) - EC 1/10 Valois (SPA 84 - SPA 93) - Creil - septembre 1978
Mirage 2000 C n° 118 (115-YG) - EC 2/5 Ile de France (C 46 - SPA 84 - SPA 124) - Orange - 20 décembre 2017
Mirage F1 C n° 43 (10-SJ) - EC 1/10 Valois (SPA 84 - SPA 93) - Creil - décembre 1981
This decal was available during the period between the 18th August to the 15th September 2022. The condition to get it was : Defeat 40 players in aircraft (20 in RB and SB) while controlling French aircraft, or purchase for 200 GE.

Markstridsskolan (MSS) also known as the Land Warfare Centre mostly educates other units and test prototype vehicles like the CV90120 or Grkpbv 90.
Below is the decal on the AMOS prototype (SSG120) of the CV90 variant originally intended to become the Grkpbv 90 from 2006.
Emblem of Grupo 8 de Caza, Fuerza Aerea Argentina, 1973
This emblem was only used on the Argentine Air force Mirage IIIEs, this unit operated between 1973 and 1988 when it was dissolved and passed to form the 6th group. Its worth noting that this unit participated in the 1982 Malvinas war, where the mirages were used as escort for other units.
I-007 & I-003 bearing the emblem (mid to late 80s)
Picture of an 8th group mirage During the war
The emblem was present in the 25th anniversary of their service (9 years after the unit was dissolved)
Hi SnakeMantis007,
I don’t knew and don’t waited my topic delete. I am very sad that the huge amount of research work that our team built up was lost. I hope this will be a worthy sequel (successor).
Go, Go memebers!!!
My first post is a BAD new decal from the last Warbonds. A woman again…???
The “Cancer” decal what is a nose art Zodiac of the USAF 486th Bomb Group (later 458th BG).
Here is the original on nose of B-24
Wendes Artillery Regiment, also known as A 3 operated from 1794-2000.
When it comes to equipment, they really only operated regular towed howitzers such as Haubits 77. There is also information that they used the fire command variant of vehicles like the Pbv 302 and CV 90 (Strf 90). Like with most other insignias for Sweden, it was usually only represented on the vehicles in the form of a plaque attached. Example from a Tgb 40 truck below.
Semihistorically you could put it on something like the Bkan 1, but due to budget cuts only the northern artillery regiment A 8 was equipped with it in real life.
Hi Thiky,
We have actually two years ahead before the old form will be reduced to dust. So if we are motivated, we can preserve all the participations.
Good catch about the « Cancer » picture ! The Ingame version :
This decal was available during the period between the 1st to the 28 February 2018. The condition to get it was with the old Warbonds system.

You are right! Sorry!
BUT/THEN
What’s the point of making a new unreal decal about the same?
Whatever. :/
Right. I will be here!!!
Some addition:
Super Mystère B2 - from May 1958 to July 1974
Natural silver Mirage IIIC
Some addition:
The oldest example is a small squadron badge on tails of Hawker Hurricans
The unit used Hawker Hunters later. Small squadron badge was on the nose. The black was the color of Black Arrows’ aerobatic display team. I don’t found example to natural RAF colors.
The unit used English Electric Lightning F3 too. The insignia on the tail in more size.
Might as well contribute
Emblem of 191st Fighter Squadron (low vis), Croatian Air Force
(Was part of monthly decals available from 28th September 2021 to 21st October 2021)
Only fighter squadron in Croatian Air Force which currently uses MiG-21Bis-D aircraft (soon to be replaced by French Dassault Rafale)
Croatian Air Force MiG-21Bis-D having special tail scheme for 25th anniversary of the air force
Another MiG-21Bis-D having special tail scheme but this time for 30th anniversary of the air force.
First time doing this, if I did anything incorrectly, I apologize.
A newest example to here. I KNOW, we don’t have this plane yet…
On the nose of Dassault Rafale
The Gaijin added another decal to the game with this unit (3 December 2019). Squadron roundel
This usable on the nose of McDonnell Douglas Phantoms only.
Two decals from 19 February 2015
No. 193 Squadron RAF (The unit operate between 1942-45 only)
Small insignia on the tail of Hawker Typhoon
“Tally-Ho” nose art from No. 609 Squadron RAF - this was the squadron motto
(the Tally-Ho is a British phrase, what they used at the foxhunting - this is a mark shout to the hounds at the target spotting)
This was on R.P. Beaumont’s Hawker Typhoon - good visible the Air marshal flag and victory marks
The original aircraft that bore the nickname “Panchito: the Fighting Cock” was a B-25 “Mitchell” of the 396th Bombardment Squadron belonging to the 41st Bombardment Group of the 7th Air Force that was stationed and operational in the Pacific. Central.
I serve during various attacks on Japanese strongholds in southern Japan, as well as aid in eastern China. Another bombardment of Japan had been scheduled for the same day it surrendered. However, the image of the character is not present in the game, either due to copyright or to avoid problems.
Artilleriregementet A 9 (2001-2021)
This regiment was estabilished in 2000 by putting together all the other artillery regiments in the country. They used the Volvo A30-based models of Artillerisystem 08 “Archer” which as of yet isn’t in the game (pictured below). The vehicles were usually only decorated with taped on callsigns such as EA, Erik Adam or FA, Filip Adam in the front where the wide load sign currently sits, and in the rear.
