Dont know if this is feasable but could we emulate the Doolittle Raid

Problem:
The sixteen bombers employed on the Doolittle Raid were all B-25B
Suggestion: Supp B25 with B26

Problem:
These aircraft were stripped of some of their defensive guns
Suggestion: Fire all ammo from one or two positions on take off

Problem:
Each B-25 carried four 500-pound bombs on the mission.
Suggestion: Supp 500's with 1000's

Problem:
They ran low on fuel because they had to take off early
Suggestion:Give B-26's 25% fuel and adjust fuel burn so that they are short when reaching target even if they use cruise settings
Alternate Suggestion: Set a head wind for the B-26's to fly into

Problem:
Unless I am mistaken they did not run into any fighters
Suggestion: Tweak history for a bit of fun

Problem:
Only 16 B25's that makes 32 allied players if each B-26 has a gunner
Suggestion: Not Sure..... Adjust number of B-26's

Problem:
Do we have a map of japan ????
Suggestion:

Rules
No Formations.
Each B-26 gets a Gunner.
B-26's must fly togeather as best they can
Disable external view
B-26's must Launch from CV (ITS EASY)

Allied Mission
Launch From CV
Bomb a city on a Map
Land at airfield that is just out of fuel range

Axis Mission
Patrol for enemy aircraft

Mussie, that would make for a decent Snapshot but it would be hard to do three frames based on that scenario. I'll try a few take-off runs offline and see if its possible to get her off the deck.

If ya find it to hard setup a head wind for the CV

but ya should not need it

Mussie keep in mind that the Doolittle raid was such a surprise that it went unopposed even after a Japanese scout plane spotted the American carrier. It was ridiculous to suppose the Americans would actually launch a raid from so far out to sea.

For game play, we'd need a Japanese CAP and armed bombers, otherwise you don't have any kind of event worth flying for either side IMO.

Easyscor

I already thought of that

There is also the limited number of allied playes and the fact that they removed guns....

Late war Germany Bomb Raid with Interceptors/Escorts!!!

Sisk · « **Reply #23 on:** December 31, 2005, 03:32:11 PM »

I like the idea of a late war raid on germany. Maybe we could even get a flight of 262s in there (very limited though, and deaths could carry over to next frame). P51s, P47s, B24s, B17s vs. 109s, 190s, 152/262 (in limited #s), 110s. It would be a blast (no pun intended:p )

I cannot understand the stickler to "Real History" There are so many oppotunities simply ignored by sticking to history. Like really studying the tactics needed for the choices each country made on their planes.
LW wanted to stop bombers, USA was more concerned about fighters and BIG bombers. Japan depended on CV to project power. Russia wanted to kill tanks. What if one of these changed?

How would USSR stack up against USA plane sets. We WERE very close to war with USSR through the 40's and 50's, especially '46 and 47.

How would Japan have faired against the USSR if Stalin had not opted out?

These are some things to explore.
