Don't model normandy, do Northern Europe.

I'm not sure how much of the Normandy map is done, or how much even was recovered from luthier.

 

But can I humbly suggest the normandy map was wrong for the plane set we will have in the near future?

 

Most of the aircraft we have are very late war FW-190d, P-51d etc.

 

A much better map would be northern Europe, maybe even with part of a bombed-out Berlin.

 

Imagine starting your D-9 in a camouflaged wood to take off on a piece of autobahn to take on B-17s, while keeping an eye out for strafing P-47s.

"Let us completely scrap our current project and do what this guy asked us to do on the forums." said no developer ever.

 

There's plenty of theaters I could think of, but I think Normandy will be a good start.

I was rather hoping they'd do the Ardennes and Ruhr regions, as well as the surrounding areas. The whole map would be around 200kmx200km and would fit the DCS WW2 aircraft selection much better than Normandy.

 

In late 1944 these two regions saw huge air battles, with the battle of the bulge in Ardennes, and massive strategic bombing campaign on Ruhr.

 

Maybe if we ever get the SDK the community will be able to make it. I'll probably help where I can.

As long as there are period structures and units for the ME, I am not going to be too picky about the actual location.

Maps can be expanded post release. Hypothetically, the Normandy map could become the entire WWII European theater from 39-45.

 

I don't think the exact location is terribly important though. I'm more worried about size.

First comes EDGE, then comes ALL the maps! *fist punch*

Just hoping that Normandy at least has the atmospheric vive of WW2 that CoD has. Flying through those old factories is fun.

So you want them to map out Northern Europe but leave a big black chasm where Normandy is?

Hopefully Normandy will be just a taster :)

 

I'm happy to pay for high quality maps. The DCS warbirds DESPERATELY need period maps and locations to fly over.
