saburo_cz Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 1. damage model (for both planes and ground units) 2. contacts visibility 3. faster bugs repair 4. Placeable field airfields with spawn positions 5. new planes (for now P-47 and Fw 190A-8 at least) 6. "realistic" surface behavior (to be able perform skip bombing) 7. WWII era radio equipment (radars, navigation beacons and ATC) then whatever you want, but nothing is more important than these seven for me in this order F-15E | F-14A/B P-51D | P-47D | Mosquito FB Mk VI |Spitfire | Fw 190D | Fw 190A | Bf 109K | WWII Assets Pack Normandy 2 | The Channel | Sinai | Syria | PG | NTTR | South Atlantic F/A-18 | F-86 | F-16C | A-10C | FC-3 | CA | SC | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimleo Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) 1. Optimizes the Normandy Map. Performance issues are keeping people from playing the map. 2. Were are the Mulberry Harbors? Were are the flooded fields. Even if they were drained after D-day, there would be large dead zones. 3.When trees die, they should show up for France not USA. Trees should have less hitpoints. 4. Can we get tank guns to fire correct ammo. We now have Bren guns firing Mauser rounds and Browning .30cal MG firing British .303. 5. The STUG IV is useless because the AI will not turn the vehicle to bring the guns to bare. Edited November 13, 2018 by Grimleo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michelip Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Normandy and WWII objects poll result Although the response cohort was small, I have now assessed as best I can the results of the poll for our ten most desired improvements in Normandy and WWII related matters. These 10 items are not rated in priority, but are based on how many respondents saw them as desireable and to what degree:- Placeable short dirt airstrips with spawn points, and more associated objects (e.g. crates, drums, personnel, camo netting) A.I. unrealistic behaviour and skill settings to be corrected Working Allied and Axis radar, (e.g. Wurzburg , Freya. ) including ship borne. Player driveable Jeeps Player controlled watchtowers (Allied and Axis) At least one each Allied and Axis twin engined bomber ( e.g. Mosquito, Ju-88 ) player- flyable Allied and Axis WWII artillery units ( e.g. U.S. 105 or 155 mm, British 25 pounder, German 10.5mm) A.I. Allied and Axis twin engined aircraft ( e.g. Ju 88, B-25 Mitchell, B-26 Marauder, Douglas A-20) Combined Arms player driveable Allied and Axis tanks. Option for Iron Bomb delayed detonation Thanks to all who contributed. Mich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pietpuk Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Churches. I have been looking around, but didn't find a single church in any village. But what I do see are some roads (for cars) that are connected over a river by a railroadbridge. Very sloppy.

Ala13_ManOWar Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Churches. I have been looking around, but didn't find a single church in any village.You sure? Haven't search for them lately buy I remember screenshots with several building models for the map and there were churches. S!

pietpuk Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Maybe you looked here There is one monastery (with a square in the middle), but no churches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Orso Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The IMHO most iconic church in Normandy, at least from the American perspective, is Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Sainte-Mère-Église... and it's not to be found :( There are many landmarks which appear to be simply painted over with process generated landscape, like the infamous Omaha beach. There are so many photos out there, including pre-invasion, showing the beaches, but you'll not recognize them on the map. When you hit the wrong button on take-off System Specs.

pietpuk Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I went to Sainte-Mère-Église (using the mission editor) and finally found a church, but is is very small and low. A mini church I would call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westr Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Battle of Britain style dispersal huts. Ability to have bomber mod a.i units they don’t react to threats like fighters. It’s great to have the German bomber mods but when I attack them they all break formations and climb better than an Me262. Maybe some sort of Runway overlay that can create a grass strip to take off from? Unrelated maybe but Quick mission builder that adds large formations of enemy aircraft.

Captain Orso Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I have found nothing like a church near where Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption should be. Photo from during the war, view to the south-east direct down the Route nationale 13. Section of map from the War Office, 2nd Edition 1943, France Cherbourg - Valongnes, Sheet 6E. Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption is the white circle directly to the right of N13. Approximately the same area in the ME. Saint Mere Eglise is almost not recognizable compared to what it actually looked like during the war. You can easily create a mission on the Normandy map with an Observer slot. Start the mission, select the Observer slot, start, position map view over St. Mere Eglise, <LCtrl><F11>, try to find the church. When you hit the wrong button on take-off System Specs.

iborg Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I took advantage of the December sale to buy the Normandy map. As I lived in Cherbourg and witnessed the 1994 anniversary celebrations of the D-Day, I couldn't not be interested in flying over a re-creation of it ! The general looks are nice, and I was pleased to overfly the famous Pointe du Hoc battleground. However, I was quite disappointed by Cherbourg itself... The great harbour ("grande rade") is missing ! The huge exterior breakaways are a significant feature, perhaps the most significant feature as they encompass the world's second largest protected anchorage and they're definitely the most recognizable landmark when you're looking at the sea there. I hope its only a temporary absence from the Normandy map. Ryzen 3600X - RTX 2080 - 32 GB Ram - DCS on SSD. DCS Modules : M2K-C, F18-C, FW-190D, Huey, Gazelle, Black Shark, Mig-15, all maps.
