Well here goes mine...
I have tried to identify a shmup that is very similar to let's say 19xx series(especially the first boss), with WWII theme,but not that futuristic.I played it almost a decade ago and what I remember is:
-WWII theme.
-Many if not all bosses are planes...
-I remember there was some German zeppelin boss,and I remember other boss was triangle shaped plane like modern B2 bomber only with German WWII cross(or swastika),
-Game looked as good as lets say 19xx
-And something that stands out here is the unique damage effects on bosses....bosses(planes) would get bullet holes,gaping wings etc something very much like the first boss from 19xx (I mistakenly thought this game was in fact 19xx but latter stages proved me wrong).

So any help would be very much appreciated,because I am ready to give up the search after so many years.
Thank you

ok here it goes. hard to explain. doujin vert pc game. characters are animu characters, seemed like a spoof. very loud game lots of loud voice loops. most bosses were just a head of a cartoon character. the bullets were often the head of other characters. scrolling text over the action much like nico nico douga videos. it was crazy as shit.

I had almost forgotten about that crazy POS game. Despite the kusoge vibes it's giving out, some of the patterns aren't too bad (most still look like pewp though)

i think the people that made it might have been going for poop. this game is louder than i remember.
