SoW Reddog Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I'm confused by the Normandy map to be honest. If I understand correctly, the Allied Advanced Landing Grounds will be shown and part of the base map. Based off this link https://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=151558&d=1478986897 The last one of those in the area (didn't verify every one) the screenshot covers was operational on 25th August. Cobra which saw the cotentin cut off and saint lo captured began July 25 and Falaise was 12-21st August which kind of signalled the end of the active war fighting in this area shown on this map although there might be a bit more on the very east edge. There certainly wouldn't have been any LW operating bases in this area by this time. So basically as far as I can see we are getting a post normandy campaign, normandy map. Unless the map will have multiple versions over a date range, I honestly cannot see how it is historically useful whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Dragon Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 The map was only take from a develop version and actualy have on WIP, that pic will can´t represent a complete product (all has subject to change). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the map will have multiple versions over a date range, I honestly cannot see how it is historically useful whatsoever. So far i read the I Net sources on the Current Map only JG3 and JG5 was located on Evreux and withdrawal with the early Days of July. All other Luftwaffe Squadrons are outside of the (WIP) Map so basically only Fights are most historical in the Juni. So you are correct, but i dont think has to much impact then rather make for every Airfield a new Map. Look basically foward they remove all foward Airfields and make south England :D Once you have tasted Flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your Eyes turned Skyward.

SoW Reddog Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3026496&postcount=2 Thanks but that doesn't really counter the point although the addition of Southern England is a major improvement on the map, the fact remains that if the map includes all the ALG, then there is NO combat in the area represented by the map at the time it portrays. Ps, it is "Needs Ore Point", not oar. Edited January 25, 2017 by SoW Reddog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bart Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Oh yes........DCS WW2 here we come!!!!! :D FANTASTIC news Racoon.......brilliant. Made my day this has. Looks like they cropped Guernsey area out to the west side of the map, but give me Southern England on there any day. Now this is going to be awesome for fighter sweep missions in Normandy from Southern England prior to the 6th June landings. We now have a REAL WW2 map to fly in......

exray Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Does this mean added dev time for Normandy I wonder, or still a "targeted" Q1/17 release? i7-4790k @ 4.4GHZ, 32GB G.

I doubt it will hold anything up, the map will be early access, so it shouldnt be expected to be complete when it comes out in that form.

bart Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I doubt it will hold anything up, the map will be early access, so it shouldnt be expected to be complete when it comes out in that form. So at a guess, and as it's releasing before 2.5, it will be added to DCS World 2.x.x along with the NTTR map or for those without the NTTR they would just install 2.x.x and have just the Normandy map installed? Seems the most logical solution to me anyways......
