Hey Eddie,  this sounds like a great setup. However I can distinctly hear wailing and knashing of teeth, already many allied players are wearing sackcloth and dumping massive quantities of ash upon themselves.  Yes, yet another week without their spitfires.  My oh my what's a poor allied flyer to do???

Eddie would you consider adding the P 38 from Kingscliffe, home of the 20th FG?  It was after all available in this time period.

This may mitigate the amount of mourning and withdrawl that our allied collegues may suffer and also give eagler something else to land 7 kills in while flying around in a constant state of fuel deprviation.

Just a thought,  I like the set up fine just as it is though.

This should be an interesting set with Allied fleets enabled (I assume they are since it only says "German fleets disabled").

Spitfires dont bother me, add them if the Allies want them. Either way it looks like fun to me.

This setup is basically simulating the 'American' side of the invasion hence the lack of British/Canadian forces.   It's not to say we're not adding Spit's because it's not fair, it's just the American's vs the Germans to mimic a side for the D-Day landing.

Yeah, I saw King Kong on the Empire State building in a movie I saw in 1977 too.  But it's just not right.

FYI: the P-51D was just entering service in June.  Batz/Wotan/Brady?

I have a P38 die cast model with invasion stripes on its wings. Does that qualify it for this setup?

My guess is that any "older" planes, ie 109f, that may have been lying around and airworthy was thrown against the mighty allied war machine....

I have found this link for see Allied and Axis Aircraft and Squadron see on D-Day.

http://www.raf.mod.uk/dday/luftu.html  -  Luftwaffe
http://www.raf.mod.uk/dday/rafu.html  -  RAF
http://www.raf.mod.uk/dday/usafu.html  -  USAAF

Also, P-51D has arrive Europe in March 1944 and was finally just in time to see D-Day.  I think 359th(?) Squad equip with P-51D, has shot down couple Fw 190 on D-Day and also P-38 also see the action on D-Day, include James Doolittle flow one of the P-38 on D-Day.

Your best banner yet Arlo, good job.

As a side note, it does not say how restricted the G10 will be, but I think it should be VERY limited. Possibly add the 51D at equally limited rear bases in the UK as a counter for the G10?

I dont care either way, just trying to throw out solutions before the whines even start. :)

Here's a whine fer ya... as limited as the la la is supposed to be in the current setup I sure do see more of them that any other type.

Now about that limit thingy... is there any way to limit the number of type by the number of people playing? Say u have 10 people in what ever country, is there a way to limit the number of said airplanes to only 1 or 2? Have them enabled all over but if you already have 20% in the air then that's all u get till either someone dies in type or your numbers increase.

No.

And I've been shamelessly promoting the Yak9U. Be glad it's not taking if you're not seeing all that many. ;)
