Is the WW2 Marianas Evaluation from ''Storm of War'' being considered? it should!

[Slice313]

I think Storm of War is one of the best things WW2 DCS actually has, it is such a pleasure to join the server, an endless sense of pure adventure. Who wouldn't like to see it expanded to the pacific? I Think that, if ED is serious about DCS WW2 and the pacific front, this superb document should be considered highly. I paste here the bare minimums asked, although ED always aims for more than the bare minimum

The following is the absolute minimum set of units needed to make any Marianas campaign even feasible.

• At least one Japanese, flyable aircraft (A6M5, N1K1-J, or similar)
• Japanese infantry
• Japanese mortar+crew
• Japanese anti-aircraft guns
• Japanese coastal artillery piece
• US Fletcher-class DD (or Benson class)
• Japanese destroyer (Minekaze class or similar)
• Japanese-suitable cargo ship
• US B-24 Liberator, AI aircraft, as promised for the WW2 assets pack

The list you posted is likely minimum 5 years away, probably a decade, if ever. We would be a lot better off just fighting the Germans in the Pacific.

B-17s didn't serve over the Marianas? I thought they saw quite a bit of use in the Pacific.

They did (C, D, E & F versions), but only until mid-ish 1943, when better PTO-suitable Liberators took over for good. Then there was a handful of SB-17Gs providing SAR ops in latest stages of war, but I think they were all stationed on Okinawa.
