312_Lobo Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Yes, we need to march to the Battle of the Bulge :) :thumbup: Yeah, one day I would love to see the Ardennes 44/45 in DCS. Current DCS WWII planeset would fit it almost perfectly and it would also be a great playground for both a2a and a2g fighter-bomber sorties. And with multi-engine medium bombers (B-25/B-26) if they ever come to DCS it would be even better. Edited April 1, 2016 by do.st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A21 Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer. If you can add that aircraft too, that'd be great. :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] [Dogs of War] WWII COMBAT SERVER | P-51D - FW190-D9 - Me109-K4 Visit Our Website & Forum to Get More Info & Team Speak Access Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flare2000x Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 This airfield idea is great. On our CloD server we have a mission where the RAF has auxillary airfields in farmers fields. All it needed was some spawn points and some buildings. I don't see why we couldn't do this in DCS. It seems like an amazing potential for missions in this theatre. S!

MiloMorai Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 If the circles with a dark center are major airfield and the plain circles are minor airfields on the McMaster Normandy map there should be no lack of airfields with 35 major and 55 minor counted.

The black ring circles look to be airfields > checked a few place names against Airfields%20-%20France.pdf Nice catch. I think you're right. This has helped me find a few more airfields that seemed to exist up until the pre-Overlord bombing campain. Interesting note: In the spring of 1944, Allied commanders commenced planning of Operation Overlord. By the beginning of May, airfields and usable landing grounds in an arc 130 miles around Caen, code named Area I, were marked for destruction by the Eighth Air Force, the AEAF, and the RAF Bomber Command.
