ED Team Racoon Posted April 5, 2016 ED Team Share Posted April 5, 2016 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. http://www.globalaviationresource.com/v2/2014/04/29/d-day-70-pt-8-operation-overlord-the-airfields-campaign/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin-27 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Sounds like a good A/G mission to start with in-game... Three days later (23 May 1944), 333 P-51 Mustangs flew interdictor sorties against bases, destroying 17 Luftwaffe aircraft in the air and an impressive 77 on the ground, with a further 64 aircraft damaged at their airfields, at a cost of 15 US pilots missing in action.

MegOhm_SD Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Can't help but think we need good runway damage Modeling going forward. I'd like to see some nice craters stick around for a mission if I bombed an enemy airfield. Maybe I just haven't tried it lately so I don't know the present state really.
