New Flak Guns suggestion

[stuart666]

Im presently trying to do a representation of the German air defences on the channel map, and whilst going through the sources noted something. There was a quite a lot of guns used by the Germans acquired from armies they defeated. Ive just found 2 flak positions near Ostend that were used by 4cm Flak 28. Or the Bofors gun as we prefer to call it.

There were on the Normandy area references to use of the British 3.7 Inch gun. Seems to have been quite a few left behind at Dunkirk we didnt effectively dispose So I was thinking, how about ED considering including those guns among the german kit? I accept the crew figures need changing, but of all the things that could be done, this would be reasonably low hanging fruit I would have thought? Some Vehicles also so quite a lot of use, so its worth considering vehicles that could perhaps fulfill 2 different owners with just a different skin.

Just a respectful suggestion to ED.

Combined joint task force will give you that.

true, he's also asking for a different skin... i imagine german crew instead of british.

not that i think most would even notice...

for those that did notice, imagine the woe and despair.

Yes, exactly. I could create that right now, but they are still going to be in British camo and with British crews. If you are strafing them with a Mosquito you are probably going to notice a some point.

I mean, I understand the want for more skins, but I don't think youd notice what uniform someone was wearing, especially if it was just infantry.

I made a full ww2 campaign for the community, and I've not had a single person notice they're actually strafing Syrian Insurgents not ww2 infantry.

But maybe you should add a 'more skins' wish in the wishlist.
