Was there a practical reason for doing nose paintjobs like this?

They were intended to invoke the protective power of the Aryan Gods.

It adds personality to the plane

How the fuck do propeller planes speed and a slow down the propeller without the guns having to shoot differently to miss them.

>>3380976
The guns do shoot slower.

>>3380976
The guns are synchronised with the propeller.

>>3380976
The guns are slowed to fire only between the blades.

>>3380976
The firing mechanism has two triggers.
One in the pilot's hand, one pulled by the passing blades.
The gun only fires when both of them are pulled, thus it only shoots when it won't hit the blades.

They were mostly used for identification between units, or even armies. Usually it was different units, but when you had massive amounts of planes in one big operation, you wanted all your planes to be painted similarly so you could identify friend from foe. A good example is invasion stripes for D-Day.

>>3380827
The nose paintjob is to show whether the propeller engine is running or not

>arcade.

If you're talking about Spirals/Hypnospirals, then IIRC that was used by German engineers to know whether or not the propeller was working properly, that's just my 2 cents.
