JG13Wulf Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Here are a video where you can see some of the P47 that Take off from carrier to go on the Mariana Island. Some of them make some attack before landing on the island. Even if it's a bubble top, it will be nice for Mariana map. Maybe later we will have the 1940's map and the Razorback :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ercoupe Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Actually, there is information on the Saipan Jugs. They were the 318th Fighter Group. They flew their razorbacks on fighter bombing missions, and also interceptions of Japanese planes flying from Iwo Jima. Eventually the unit was given spanking new, long range, P-47N's. They were moved north to the newly captured island of Ie Shima. They flew missions to Japan from there. No bubble canopied P-47D's operated from the Marianas. But they did begin to replace the old razorbacks near the end of the New Guinea campaign. And the also operated out of the Phillipines. As a matter of fact, a Mexican fighter squadron flew them with the 5th Air Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grafspee Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 This is the closest I ever got to a P-47 in real life (while it's engine was running). I had ky Canon XF100 on a tripod as it taxiied up to.me the day before the Camarillo Airshow in 2012. I was getting a little nervous as it got closer, but the Jug is such a beauty, I held my ground ;) (also got a P-40 and 51) Glorious engines - Wings over Camarillo P-40, P-51 and P-47 shot on a Canon XF100 That prop is gigantic :) System specs: I7 14700KF, Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Elite, 64GB DDR4 3600MHz, Gigabyte RTX 4090,Win 11, 48" OLED LG TV + 42" LG LED monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistking Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 what version of the p-47 flew in the pacific theatre? Not sure, but I think it was an earlier version, at least somewhat. Not sure though. When 318th FG was transported to Saipan to provide support for the rest of the Marianas campaign, they flew razorback -Ds, so our upcoming bubbletop doesn't fit that scenario. They later switched to -Ns. As far as later campaigns are concerned, bubbletop -Ds flew over Philippines and Burma. Thanks for the info! That would be close enough for me to enjoy the 47 over a hypothetical WWII Guam...

grafspee Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 When pre-order ? System specs: I7 14700KF, Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Elite, 64GB DDR4 3600MHz, Gigabyte RTX 4090,Win 11, 48" OLED LG TV + 42" LG LED monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al-Azraq Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 When pre-order ? ED stated in a newsletter that the pre-order would be available along with the Channel map and both products should be available in Q1. The pre-order I believe was planned for the end of January. I can't find the quote but I recall that. So I wouldn't be surprised if we could pre-order today. EDIT: "DCS: The Channel Map will be available for pre-order with a 30% discount in early February 2020." https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4168367&postcount=233 i7 12700KF | MSI Z690 A-PRO | Corsair Vengeance 2x16 gb @ 3200 Mhz | RTX 3070 Ti FE | Acer XB271HU 1440P 144HZ | Virpil T-50 CM throttle | Virpil WarBRD Base + MongoosT-50 CM2 Grip | MFG Crosswind | TrackIR 5 | HP Reverb G2 Bf 109 K-4 | Fw 190 A-8 | Spitfire LF Mk.

twistking Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 i'm sorry, but i am not an expert on reflector gunsights. this one doesn't seem to be a gyro sight, correct (it's missing ranging controls)?

Legioneod Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Does anyone happen to know what mp settings we are likely going to be running with? I hear so many different settings used. The only options are 64" MP or 70" MP no other options to choose from for the D-30. My guess would be 64" MP but 70" is certainly possible if they model it as an 8th AAF P-47 since they used 70" during this time of the war.
