Suggestion – Support for Large Aircraft at Wunstorf Air Base

[JG78_horΛz]

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, it seems that large aircraft such as tankers, AWACS, or similar types currently cannot be placed at Wunstorf Air Base in DCS. This is somewhat inaccurate from a historical and operational perspective.

Since the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) took over the airfield again in 1958, Wunstorf has continuously operated large aircraft. This includes the Noratlas N2501, followed by the Transall C-160, and today the A400M Atlas.

Given this long-standing role, it would be great if Wunstorf could accommodate aircraft of this size in-game as well.

Kind regards

The runways in the 80's and 90's had a lenght of 1882m (6174ft) for the 08/26 and 1704m (5590ft) for the 03/21. So larger aircraft like the AWACS or the KC-135 couldn't take of there.

If you take a look here https://earth.google.com/web/search/wunstorf/@52.45817399,9.42855077,53.21398276a,5865.38077443d,35y,0h,0t,0r/data=Cj4iJgokCUDDiHet7UpAEehPjYlu40pAGdgMJiV61iVAIR4kloYHRCVAKhAIARIKMjAxMC0xMi0zMRgBQgIIAToDCgEwQgIIAEoNCP___________wEQAA , you can see that the runway 08/26 has been outspread in 2010. So the DCS runways are accurate to the period.
