Official 'What If' Thread

D-30 is plane introduced into service in early fall 44 (or late summer) like K-4 and D-9, it fits perfectly...

 

Hmmm. RRG strikes again!

 

Earliest Bubbletop Jug was the D-25 and these started arriving in th ETO in May '44 - can't yet find any hard or fast dates. But yeah a D-22 Razorback would be a better fit to the Normandy map.

 

Similar situation with the P-51D; a P-51B/C would have been more prevalent....

The Me 262 was already planned, the cockpit is done from what I can tell. Finish this bird and then do a Tempest Mk. V! :thumbup:

 

1. Me 262

2. Hawker Tempest Mk V.

3. Mosquito

I'm waiting for the Me-262!

Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit

 

DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

I've already made my suggestions. However, in discussing with others (MAD, Jarhead, Philstyle, AH71-Rob, et al.), a few ideas came up that I thought were worth mentioning.

 

1. DCS has the mechanism to do carriers. Is there any WW2 aircraft carrier that would suit and the plane to match it? The suggestion I heard was to do A6M-v-F4F, which I don't think makes sense - it is too far removed from what we already have. But I am wondering if there is something in the North Atlantic that might work?

 

2. As an alternative to the Ju 88, there is the Me 410. It was used in KG51, so it is suitable historically. There are also museum examples (e.g. Cosford, UK). I personally think the Ju 88 is a better choice, but the Me 410 is certainly a strong and suitable alternative.

 

3. Historically, the Hawker Typhoon was used in large numbers and would be a suitable addition. In order to try to maintain historical consistency, it would make more sense to implement a Typhoon in preference to a Tempest. The P-38 is also a contender in this regard, with the advantage of being a twin. Personally, I think the Mosquito is better, but from an historical-numbers arguments, these are good alternatives.

 

 

As I said, none of these would be my choices, but I am just reporting them here in the interests of broadening the debate.

British Illustrious (HMS Victorious, Formidable) or Implacable-class (HMS Indefatigable) aircraft carriers which operated against targets in Norway during the summer of 1944 in concert with a bunch of escort carriers. They carried mainly Corsairs, Seafires and Hellcats as fighters and Barracuda dive bombers.

Main Module: AH-64D

Personal Wishlist: HH-60G, F-117A, B-52H

Zero vs F4F would be perfect with a completed VEAO P40. Begin building something besides 1944 in which competitors are trying to capture market share. This could easily be adjusted with large maps of water and a sliver of coastline to simulate different theatres.
