I don't really have a say in it and I won't be flying it, but I just wanted to point out that I've seen a lot of setups that have "so and so" for allies, and then the entire axis lineup.

Same here.

In 1944 they weren't flynig 109Fs anymore. Most of the 109G2s were long retired (maybe some were in Finland, still?), and the 109G-6s in this game are the early 1943 versions, which would have been long replaced by later models (closer to the G-14) by 1944. It's not likely that the 190A-5 woudl still be around, as the A-8 was the pre-eminent version once it was introduced. Also, the Ju-87 was pretty much retired from frontline duty after the BOB fiasco.

That would make it more like:

109G6
109G14
110G2
190A8
C47
Ju-88

Like I said, not trying to change how you've got it, but it's food for thought.

Thanks for your input. I didn't have time for thorough checkings before deciding on the planes, but I think 109G14's came to Northern Luftwaffe units at the end of 1944, so it would be 109G2's and G6's. Stukas were still used in Norway and Finland in 1944. I don't think the 109F4 makes that much difference in there. But I'll have to browse through my sources when I have time and make the alterations (to following setups most likely)...

Now, the map:

Note the air starts (blue boxes).

Pining for the fjords?

Well, I put the G14 in there because many of the later G6s were basically the same as G14s, but in this game we've got early G6s and then it jumps to G14s (so the idea being to sub G14 for late G6)

P.S. Thanks for the screenshot of the map! I haven't been able to download and check it out yet. It's massive, but I think it'd be pretty damn sweet with certain scenarios/setups.

EDIT: I don't think you'd find any German G-2s flying in 1944. Depends if another country was using 'em or not, though.

Since some people dont know how to use the airstarts maybe you could let people control CVs and even make A80 & A81 bishop.

1944 they still used 190A3s, 109Fs, G2s and G6s as well as Ju87s in Finnish front and in northern Norway. At the end on 1943 109E4s and E7 were still in frontline use but there are no loss records of them in 1944 so they were probably phased out by then even in northern front.

It is also interesting that in 1941 they had about 40 109Ts on duty in southern Norway.
