Solty Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) In this post I will focus on American ground units. I will be throwing most common for Normandy 1944 scenario, which should be able to build a very believable ground force. USA 1. Armoured. I think the priority is to have M4 Sherman, one of the most iconic tanks of WW2, present during Normandy and any other major operation since 1942 Data: http://afvdb.50megs.com/usa/m4sherman.html#M4A2 Gun penetration data. http://amizaur.prv.pl/www.wargamer.org/GvA/weapons/usa_guns5.html Different Sherman types are included in the link. Most common during Normandy operations were short barrel M4, M4A1 and M4A2 Variants, but there were also, M4A1 and A2 versions with a new turret that contained M1 76mm gun. M10 GMC Primary US tank destroyer for 1942-45 Data http://afvdb.50megs.com/usa/3ingmcm10.html M5 Stuart light tank. One of the most wide spread allied light tanks of the war. Data: http://afvdb.50megs.com/usa/m5stuart.html Weapon Data. http://amizaur.prv.pl/www.wargamer.org/GvA/weapons/usa_guns2.html M8 Greyhound It uses the same Weapon as M5 Stuart. Additional .50cal machinegun was possible to be mounted on the turret. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M8_Greyhound Armoured cars M3 Halftrack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3_Half-track Hornorable mentions (post france) M18 Hellcat M36 Jackson M26 Pershing.

Strut Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Here is a great reference site : http://ww2db.com/index.php I also used to play a great Turn based War Game back in the day that seemed to have a great data base of just about most of the "hardware" that was used in WW2 . You can still DL the game here: http://www.excgame.com/combat-missio...free-download/ What i am inferring here is that you could use this as a start point for data base reference for Tanks, AFV, etc etc . Just a thought.

Solty Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Can I ask why Normandy though? I mean. We have Bf109K4 and Fw190D9 and they never saw combat over Normandy. Maybe move further to Belgium or Germany? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]In 21st century there is only war and ponies. My experience: Jane's attack squadron, IL2 for couple of years, War Thunder and DCS.

pikaevs Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Доброго времени суток! Ребята, кто летает на DCS 2.0, вопрос по воде.... В преддверии выхода Нормандии и возможности топмачтовых бомбардировок по надводным целям. На данный момент в DCS 1.5 не реализован рикошет бомб от воды. Как с этим обстоятельством дела в 2.0? Рикошетит или вязнет как в болоте на точке соприкосновения с водой? Даже при скорости сброса 600 км/ч на 15 метрах высоты. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Chizh Posted October 29, 2017 Author ED Team Share Posted October 29, 2017 Доброго времени суток! Ребята, кто летает на DCS 2.0, вопрос по воде.... В преддверии выхода Нормандии и возможности топмачтовых бомбардировок по надводным целям. На данный момент в DCS 1.5 не реализован рикошет бомб от воды. Как с этим обстоятельством дела в 2.0? Рикошетит или вязнет как в болоте на точке соприкосновения с водой? Даже при скорости сброса 600 км/ч на 15 метрах высоты. Пока не реализован. В хотелках есть. Единственный урок, который можно извлечь из истории, состоит в том, что люди не извлекают из истории никаких уроков.
