The what? Normandy??? .... OH THAT :D

 

Must be almost finished. Will probably be out in about... *duh*Duh*duh*DUH!* Two Weeks™ *bah*duhm*tshhhh*

 

I know the ME already has the grass-landing-strips as a structure to be added, although not working and finished yet. I also know that some large forward airfields are going to be on the map.

 

I'm wondering if there will be a way to turn some of these on or off to represent specific points in time. I haven't looked it up, but I don't imaging that they all sprang up all at once on day-x.

 

But really, I am so looking forward to the release, and the Spitfire. It's going to be like Christmas in ..... December wink.gif

a little teaser on the ED discord 'dcs-wwii-chat channel indicates that the Normandy map will receive an update to expand and include London and Paris

Or perhaps, they will completely overlap in space but  not in time.  ED has indicated a desire to see the Battle of Britain in the future.   Maybe the Channel Map will evolve to cover the time period

So basically the entire area of the channel map will be covered by the expanded normandy map, rendering the channel map even more pointless than it already was before. Or am I missing something here?

Any Canadian infantry too? Or Free French? Don't forget they were there too guys, along with a lot of other commonwealth nations and exiles from other conquered nations.

The Flakpanzer Coelian were never built; not even a prototype.

 

There were only a handful of the PzKpfw-VI Ausf. B Tiger II at Normandy. Far more interesting (and far more common) would be at lease one variants of each of the follwing:

PzKpfw-IV: several possible variants

Stug-III: several possible variants

PzKpfw-V Panther: variants possible

SdKfz-251 Half-Track: many possible variants

 

SpFlaK were fairly rare. FlaK on trucks (limbered and unlimbered) would be far more common.

 

I really hate rare equipment contaminating a simulation; might as well play War Thunder yuck.gif

Coelian is only Paper tank, was only a few Numbers of Ostwind Flak Tanks and Wirbeldwind was actually build Kugelblitz properly one operational Unit, but it is not worth it to make such ground units for DCS.

Only units Sd.Kfz with Flak Guns mounted was in larger Numbers on the Battlefield.

There would be no point at all in wasting even a single minute on Paperwaffe, aircraft, tanks or whatever, German or allied. ""Free"" 2 Play games need a source to make people spend money in "new" stuff, real or not, every now and again so paperwaffe stuff is a gold mine for them, but in a simulator like DCS it makes no sense at all, specially when we are currently lacking even the most usual (and RL) units.

I wouldnt be opposed to prototypes if we ever reach a point when we have ever single unit ever produced and ED gets bored and wants more to create :) Beyond historical missions in Normandy, there is nothing wrong with fun missions or fantasy what if missions.... heck a cold war gone hot mission could work in Normandy as well :)

don't know how much work is it from 1944 design to make a year 2000 design would be cool..to punch some Nato Forces snipe ;)

I was thinking the same thing and see the F-86 as a great fantasy plane for the Normandy map. It's actually not too far of a stretch to think that the F-86 could have seen service in WWII and just missed it by only a few years. In DCS, the F-86 already has WWII era bombs with the AN-M64. Maybe one of the many talented folks around here can make a few USAAF liveries for the F-86!

With lack of proper "jungle" maps like Vietnam or Korea, I guess that Normandy will be a good option for Sabre vs Mig battles (+Meteor and Vampire when released). Late war equipment and a lot of flak guns will help with immersion :)
