Should be pretty easy to do and look kind of different. BTW for those who don't know 'wilde sau' was the german codename given to the use of dayfighters in the nightfighter role, the pilots using illumination from search lights, ground fires etc to locate their targets, rather than radar. It was a very common and quite successful tactic from 1943 onwards. Normally the wilde sau units were located near key cities, where there was a large concentration of searchlights.
