GATHERING STORM: D-DAY APPROACHES

It's early 1944. The Axis are being beat back by the Allies on all fronts. In basic defense mode, Germany is holding onto France out of pure determination, not force. The Allies are gearing up towards their planned D-Day invasion in May but the date looks like it may slip to early June. While American bomber and fighter squadrons hold the northen part of the airfields, the British forces south pose an important element. Churchill may invade early, but what does Eisenhower have in store up north?

Have a request for both sides flying, if your on Thursday night for this set up... would anyone mind recording it both Axis and Allied. I am going to try to put something together....

Will do Stream. Your missions are always the highlight of the week for me.

not to nitpick since i;d be flying axis in all probility, bu ti don't think the 109g-10 was available ths iearly in '44.

an aside - why ignore artik's request to for an israeli independence setup this coming week?

Soulyss · « **Reply #4 on:** April 21, 2004, 03:24:12 PM »

I'll just pop in here and state that Artik's request was not ignored.

1. The Me-109G-10 (These were conversions from ME-109G-6's - factory G-10's didn't start coming out till October 44) started going into Staffel sized service during March 1944.

2. His request hasn't been forgotten and is being discussed as we speak.

3. This set-up was already made up - Fork went on vacation and I volunteered to put it up for him.

Jester,

What about FAA? Did they use F4F-4/FM2 Wildcat, TBM Avenger, and "Early" F4U-1 (Take place as 1A).

Rafe

Jester · « **Reply #7 on:** April 21, 2004, 03:59:03 PM »

Yes they did Rafe,
But the FAA pretty much stayed out of the Channel area till D-Day. Most of the fighting in this area was done by the land based aircraft.

Most of the FAA's fighting at this time was done up around Norway and out in the Atlantic till they moved to the Pacific.

Hey Jester I believe that the LW has too many aircraft to choose from. perhaps you should enable all the allied inventory. Perhaps it would be OK to honor Artik's request this week btw.

actually they should dump the raf planes from this setup. i mean by this point the raf had minimal impact on the air war.

CurtissP-6EHawk · « **Reply #13 on:** April 21, 2004, 06:31:24 PM »

The G10 will will rule?

Just how many were modified in the field before full production?
You allies better go practice. The last time this set-up was here:

P-51B 441 Deaths 231 Killls of G10

P-47D-25 292 Deaths 196 Kills of G10

P-38L 327 Deaths 201 Kills of G10

Damn near two to one losses

109G10 has best record in the CT. The F4U is not even close but is seldom seen, as well as the Tempest!

AcePappy · « **Reply #14 on:** April 21, 2004, 08:31:23 PM »

Storch, the reason he has activated all axis aircraft is due to the fact that in '44 the axis had all their aircraft models running and keeping updated. The allies didnt have all their planes in this event, thy had some, but not all. The Luftwaffe tried to enable as much as there lW aircraft in all fronts as possible. And as far as your RAF knowledge goes, toward the end of war the RAF grew alot stronger in due time. The beginning of the war they were weak but they got alot better and stronger more updated with Spitfire models, so.. trust me m8, I know alot of RAF crap. Maybe not the aces part, but i do know a good amount of LW and RAF history, mainly RAF.
