Please add Wittmund EDNT, Jever EDNJ, Oldenburg EDNO in phase 3

Please consider adding Wittmund EDNT, Jever EDNJ, Oldenburg EDNO in phase 3.

(Adding the civil airfield Wilhelmshaven EDWI would be a nice cherry on top, it's the largest civil aerodrome in the area and regularly saw GAF C-160 Transall practising short-field landings and takeoffs. Nowadays every now and then the occasional GNY Sea Lynx from ETMN Nordholz stops by)

Not sure why those airfields are missing.

No Wittmund (JG 71) will leave us witout a single CW Luftwaffe Fighter Wing base (Neuburg being outside of scope) for F-4s and F-104s.

No Jever means no WaSLw 10 (F-104) and JaboG 38 (Tornado).

No Oldenburg means no G91R3 base for LeKG 43.

All the airfields are clearly within the Phase 3 boundaries. So are the airfields in Schleswig-Holstein, which are also missing without an understandbale reason. With that scope of airfields, no realistic F-104/ Tornado Marineflieger ops are possible.

Interestingly, the nearby Fliegerhorst Nordholz is on the Phase 2 list. Nordholz has only been a base for maritime patrol aircraft ("only" in the context of DCS). If Ugra can't do any more airbases (which would be totally understandable, they are already doing more then I ever expected), perhaps it could be discussed to switch Nordholz with Jever to give the Marineflieger Tornados a place.

Admittedly, Nordholz would probably also have hosted US reinforcements.

Edit: I have been mistaken, Jever was a Luftwaffe Tornado base, not Marineflieger.

Another thought:

If neither Oldenburg, nor Husum are included, there'll be no proper G91 airfield on the map whatsoever.

Pferdsfeld transitioned to F-4s in 1975. Fürsty is outside the map's scope.

Well, Rheine is there in Phase 3.. So there is at least another German Phantom Base, for which you even have a single Livery as well. 😉 The JaBoG 35 Livery sadly wasn't even meant to fly from Pferdsfeld, but rather from Goose Bay, Canada.. But that's all just Details right 😉

My Glaskugel didn't project a Germany Map when I made the F-4F Liveries 😉

100% Agree!
When Ugras CWG Map meets Heatblurs F-4E then we need to have “Phantoms over Ostfriesland” in DCS.
Means the JG 71 “R” located in ETNT Wittmundhafen! Traditionsgeschwader “Richthofen”.

@Ugra: If you like to add something special: The grave of the most famous fighter pilot of the First World War had to be moved for the construction of the “death strip” on the inner-German border in Berlin. His family donated the huge gravestone to the 71. Jagdgeschwader in Wittmund, where the stood from 1975 until it was returned to Berlin in 2016.
