The only thing delayed is the map ;)

 

The people that want the Hornet have watched the WWII lovers get 2 aircraft so far with a 3rd on the way :)

 

Seems like many people have their "pet-project" that they love to complain about (or the lack of it) ;)

 

For every news or release there's a bunch of people complaining that is wasn't their corner being satisfied. People, take a look at something else outside your favorite playground occasionally, you might find other things to like as well.

One thing I really, really hope is that they include southern england bases for bombers to take off from. Now THAT would be completely awesome.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing a delay in the map if it meant adding this crucial part.

 

 

FYI

 

I have questioned the issue of bases in southern England and was told that the map set up will be reviewed once work continues on it and adjusted as ED feels is necessary to offer the best gameplay options possible.

The M60's and T55's aren't too far off from WWII stuff.

I'm just sayin'... the day a heavy bomber like the B-17, the Lancaster or the B-24 gets released in DCS... it will be a complete revolution gameplay-wise.

 

But thanks for the info, SithSpawn. Next round of Nandos is on me. :D

Thanks Sith. Good to hear, hopefully they do decide to include them. Would be fun to go crossing the channel to attack RAF airfields, even though that wasn't taking place during the period the planes we have now were flying (and I'm sure the Allied side will enjoy the reverse).

 

Could always do an alternate timeline campaign where the Germans managed to steamroll back the Allied advance to some degree. Maybe Allied mismanagement, Germany having hidden resources that suddenly got brought out and/or Hitler and higher level party members being assassinated and replaced by actually competent leaders (supposed to be that Allies rejected plan to assassinate Hitler because they felt his "leadership" did more to help the Allies than hinder). Makes a nice scenario until we have a late war map or BoB period aircraft.

To bottomless perdition, there to dwell; In adamantine chains and penal fire"

At least you guys can drop bombs. Where's my AGM-88 and AGM-84 for the Hornet? Not that I'm complaining about the lack of a Hornet or seeing WWII modules out before then. I have the P-51 and Bf-109 preorder. Will probably buy the P-47 when it's released too. I just like all aircraft.

But which or without hornet, you have a map and vehicles right with your time

We do? I don't recall the A-10 ever attacking tanks in the Black Sea area. Or F-15s taking on Flankers. WW11 guys have fighters from the same era that actually fought against each other to go fight with.

VEAO is making a number of BoB aircraft, maybe they can make a map expanding the Normandy one North ;)

 

And maybe some 109E-1 and 3's, Ju 87 and 88's. Bf 110's, Do 17's and He 111's to go with it perhaps?

 

Otherwise it would be a lot like the Tobruk map, missing Axis opponents to fly against. :music_whistling:

VEAO does have the Bf. 109 E-4 in their 17 thousand plane long development roadmap!

I hope ED recognizes the potential this game has and the map will not be skimpy.

 

Yup, me too. I just hope that the Normandy map doesn't take as long as Nevada.

Yes, which in a way was my point. You can't simulate the BoB with just the E4 for the Axis side, with or without a Channel map.

 

VEAO have a Tobruk map in their roadmap, but again no Axis planes that match that period.

E.D. really likes these small maps. Assuming the Normandy map follows the same 390km x 390km formula, this should give you an overall picture of what could be included. I did not orient this pic North and South for a reason. If E.D. lines it out this way, it would include most of the important "Fighter Bases" that took part in the battle, but also the Cities of london and Paris..... just a thought. -Woog
