Object's list-Wish list

I know that work continues full steam ahead on our WW II map. I was thinking of all the great objects that would be needed, to bring the map alive. They can't give them all to us, so what are a couple of your choices as being important to the map, as for me...camp fire/or oil fire to mark runways on the new forward bases, and still thinking of a couple more, but hard to choose :doh:

In addition to the campfire we need marshmellows and the xxx spitfire modification =)

marshmallows or schnapps would be good

Flak 88!

But more seriously, I think that WWII AI ground units like tanks/landing craft/ships/trucks are important, but even more important are the buildings and objects. We need tents, dispersal huts, control towers, oil bins, WINDSOCKS, the metal tracking that they placed on runways, barbed wire, sandbags, bunkers, iron hedgehogs, the list goes on and on . . .

flare

EDIT: We need lots of different kinds of AA guns, heavy ones like the 88 (and british/american equivalents), light ones like 20mm autocannons, and medium ones like the 40mm Bofors! The bofors was one of the most iconic weapons in WWII and it was used by all sides!

that's the problem they can't give us all of them, and they are all important

Mod XXX:

Horses and ploughs (would make a great obstruction during an emergency landing):

A crane

Bundles of wheat

Stacks of jerrycans:

Dust

Santa (an oldy, but still good):

And Santa's helper:

Various types of aa(light/heavy), anti-tank guns, artillery, and hopefully a few different models of tanks, support vehicles tracked or otherwise for all sides.

Normandy.

Is that an object? If not, then The English Channel. Uhmmm....

various trees and shrubs object would be nice to make the hedge rows dense/thicker

I'd realy like if they made it so that we can feel the WW2 around us. It must not feel just like another sandbox, but a world that feels real. To acomplish that, I think those are the most important objects that not only make us invested in the world, but also give us purpose in the air, so that we have targets on the ground too.

TOP 10 Objects that i'd like to see in WW2 setting:

-light AA guns (20mm and 37mm)

-heavy AA guns (88mm, 90mm)

-Tanks

-Trains

-Train depots

-Trucks(Opel Blitz, Studebaker)

-Tents(medical, munitions, standard)

-Supply depots (those things that can realy go BOOOM when hit)

-Buildings from the era and place(Normandy France)

-Hedgerows

And thats it, I hope they can make it. Most importantly, I'd love to see though that DCS has changed so that my frame rate doesn't drop when somebody fires a burst and when somethings blows up or looses a part.

In other words... OPTIMISE THE GAME... please :)

Happy holidays people.

Trains w/proper steam boiler explosions. Grass airfields. 88mm flak guns. Bombs w/correct splash damage...

Trains

Automatic flak

Trucks to strafe

Hedgerows

Love to see some aircraft in various stages of repair at airfields to add am air of activity

...much experience with either anyways :P

Don't be so sure about it ;)

Trains for pilots to strafe :D

Excluding map objects, I would prioritize:

1) AI heavy or medium bombers

2) medium AAA (37-40mm)

3) horse-drawn wagons

4) dug-in infantry and towed artillery positions

5) steam trains

6) Opel Blitz and Dodge 2 1/2 ton trucks

7) M2/ M3 and SdKfz251 halftracks

8 ) M4 Sherman/ Pzkw Mark IV tanks

My logic is that we first need objects that fill roles or behaviors that cannot be filled by an existing surrogate (like medium AAA or turret-armed bombers), then next priority should be to the most common targets for our aircraft (IE, trucks are much more likely targets than tanks)

We need good forward airfields:

Oh yeah, period navigation charts, checklist's, and operating limitation cards on the kneeboards!

II./JG300 was stationed at the following air fields in Oct 1944. Would be a stretch to call them 'forward airfields'.

Löbnitz

(GER) (51 34 50 N – 12 29 25 E)

General

: operational airfield (Einsatzhafen) in Saxony 33 km SSE of

Dessau, 29-30 km N of Leipzig, 12 km NE of Delitzsch and 2.5 km SE

of Löbnitz.

History

: laid out in 1938-39, but no evidence found of

operational use until fall 1944 when it became a fighter station.

Surface and Dimensions

: grass surface measuring approx. 1145 x 355

meters (1250 x 390 yards) with an “L” shape. No paved runway.

Infrastructure

: no hangars or workshops, but several small buildings

off the NW corner may have been used for temporary

accommodations. Nearest rail connection in Düben, 8 km ENE of the

landing ground.

Dispersal

: there were at least 7 aircraft bays cut

into the woods off the S boundary (Feb 45).

Operational Units

: II./JG 300 (Oct 44 – Apr 45); III./JG 4 (Apr 45).

Finsterwalde

(GER) (51 36 30 N – 13 44 20 E)

General

: airfield (Fliegerhorst) 104 km SSE of Berlin, 45 km WSW of

Cottbus in Brandenburg; airfield located 3.6 km SSE of Finsterwalde.

History

: construction began in late 1934 or early 1935 and it was

named a Luftwaffe Fliegerhorstkommandantur by fall 1935.

Happy holidays people.

I don't really get the Normandy area judging from the timeframe the K-4 flew in.. but you do have all the things I enjoy from the Cliffs of Dover maps.

They make it seem vibrant and alive, sometimes you RANDOMLY come across a train for example.. that kinda stuff.

Also supply depots actually exploding and having secondary explosions would be super cool!

Have you seen here:

No I have not. Great finds! Looking forward to this map.

Wow, just like O'Hare or Hartsfield........
