DCS: Cold War Germany - update

[MAESTR0]

Hallo, ihr Jagdflieger!

We're returning to the DCS: Cold War Germany map. A small but action-packed update is in the works, adding new locations, important tactical objectives, and new services to the map:

Цитата

20 airfields: Kiel, Malmo Airport, Cologne Bonn Airport, Kastrup Airport, Falkenberg Air Base, Brandis Air Base, Neuhardenberg Air Base, Brand Air Base, Nörvenich Air Base, Nordholz Air Base, Gutersloh, Bornholm, Oranienburg, Chojna, Dusseldorf, Heidelberg, Landstuhl Army Heliport, Mainz Finthen, Szczecins Goleniow.

6 Highway Strip: Perwenitz, Zöllschen, Thurland, Sprendlingen, Sittensen, Adelsheim.

6 big cities: Cologne, Bonn, Dusseldorf, Bremerhaven, Copenhagen, Malmo.

25 unique objects: Cologne-Bonn Airfield Terminal, Anlage Mulheim-Karlich nuclear power plant, The Ennepe Dam, Damm der Sorpetalsperre, Einkaufsbahnhof Köln Hbf Railway Station, Hohenzollern Railway Bridge in Cologne, Burg Desenberg Fortress, Bremen Cathedral, Bremen Town Hall, Hardthöhe (Federal Ministry of Defense), Stadthaus Bonn, Colonius (tower in Cologne), St. Cunibert's Church in Cologne, St. Peter's Church Martin's in Cologne, Poppelsdorf Castle in Bonn, Cologne Cathedral, Leipzig Railway Station, Anzeigerhochhaus, Amalienborg in Copenhagen, City_hall in Copenhagen, Fredericks Church in Copenhagen, Frederik 5 monument in Copenhagen, Malme Water Tower in Sweden, Malmo Castle in Sweden.
In addition, we will make a Valentine bunker for submarines for the naval base.

During the Cold War, Bonn became the temporary capital of West Germany. We've added the city, including the famous "Bonn Pentagon" —the complex of buildings housing the Federal Ministry of Defense, a key military objective in any conflict scenario. We've also added the 72-meter-tall Stadthaus (city administration) building and the Poppelsdorf Palace.

The Federal Ministry of Defense ("Bonn Pentagon")

Stadthaus

Poppelsdorf Palace

Valentin Submarine Facility
We've recreated one of the most impressive and macabre sites of the Third Reich—a gigantic concrete bunker on the banks of the Weser. It was the largest fortified U-boat facility in Germany. 
Most of the roof is around 4.5 meters (15 ft) thick, but part of it is 7 meters (23 ft) thick.
In the realities of the Cold War, this monumental complex could have served as a highly secure storage facility or a secret factory. A target of the highest priority.

Rostock Port
The largest port of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) on the Baltic Sea. During the Cold War, it was a key hub for Soviet and East German maritime transport, a logistics hub, and a potential base for Warsaw Pact warships and submarines.

One of the key strategic targets in the update is the Ennepe Dam – a hydroelectric power station in North Rhine-Westphalia, built in the early 20th century. NATO and Warsaw Pact military doctrines considered hydraulic structures to be top-priority targets.

Industrial area with waste heaps: we've added Terricones

SA-2 Air Defense Zone: Consider deployment locations when planning missions.

Cologne-Bonn Airport (Terminal): A major hub ready to receive your aircraft.

Autobahn Runway: Using sections of highway as runways is a legendary practice. New opportunities for you. Flights to such runways require pilots with precision takeoff and landing skills.


Stay tuned, we'll show you and tell you more about the upcoming update. 
Don't forget to get your new certification!

The Bonn Pentagon was commonly known as "Hardthöhe" during CW. It's still existing but large parts of Bundeswehr HQ have been moved to Berlin Bendler Block now. It probably was (and still is) a likely target for Warshaw Pact (now russian) forces.

So Awesome! thank you so much Ugra!

Great update on the upcoming phase 2

Fantastic looking update. The highway strips look as if you took the details about them from my dreams. Looking forward to seeing more @MAESTR0! (maybe we can see some refinements for Pferdsfeld too, pretty please? =3 )

Edit: I believe shown off is the Sprendlingen Highway strip btw

Woah, nice!

@MAESTR0 No Altenburg, Noblitz East Germany, in update? It was one of the largest Russian bases where MiG-29 9.12 were stationed.

The lane width of the highway strip and the highways in general seem about 25% too narrow. German Autobahns have 3,5m - 3,75m lane width PER LANE, meaning four lanes plus emergency lane plus space in the middle where the barrier usually stands make it at least 20m wide.

 

In this Video one can guesstimate the witdh of such a Notlandepiste. Even C-160s were able to land on them...

Looking forward to the Update!

in this articel (in German) the specs for a highway landing strip are described: https://www.bundeswehr.de/de/organisation/luftwaffe/aktuelles/autobahn-notlandeplaetze-waehrend-des-kalten-krieges-5615300
 

Zitat

A typical highway emergency landing area consisted of a straight section of highway between 1,500 and 3,500 meters long, which was at least 23 meters wide, and later even 30 meters wide.
