stuart666 Posted November 23, 2023 Posted November 23, 2023 This map already has quite a lot on it to allow the Mosquito to stretch its legs, and im particularly happy to see Friston which was often used as a recovery airfield for damaged aircraft. However, I think the addition of a few other places would greatly inhance the use of the mosquito on the map. Hunsdon airfield, home for 487,464 and 21 Squadrons (I think 140 wing actually) at the time of the Amien Prison raid. Thorney Island airfield. Home for many mosquito squadrons at the time of the Normandy campaign. Its also got unique scenery from being on an Island, and seems to be largely preserved through the British Army now using it as a barracks. Amien Prison. Because with Hundon, you can now run the fill mission Baupame Grevilliers. Where I think JG26/7 were based at the time of the Amien prison raid, one of which shot down Gp Cpn Pickard, as well as at least one Typhoon. Some westcountry airfields like Middle Wallop would be a good inclusion also. Bristol, Bath scenery, means its not quite so fixated on the east of the country.
Skewgear Posted November 24, 2023 Posted November 24, 2023 RAF Hartfordbridge (today known as Blackbushe) would be a great addition because it was the base of 88 Sqn, one of the RAF's A-20 squadrons. RAF Lasham was also a major Mosquito base. Seconded on RAF Thorney Island. However, we should suggest some USAAF airfields. We really are lacking in those. 1 DCS WWII player.

Or better yet, just clear the areas where the ALGs were and give us a template with all the assets to drop in when we want a mission to run with it, sort of like a FARP for Helicopters. That way we can add it if the date is correct or leave it off if the date is earlier. The permanent bases like RAF Debden (4th FG) would be great additions since they existed as far back as the BoB anyway.
