++March 11th-18th Operation Fruhlingserwachen**

[USRanger]

Operation Spring Awakening (Unternehmen Frühlingserwachen) (6-16 March 1945)
 was the last major German offensive launched during World War II. The offensive
 was launched in Hungary on the Eastern Front. This offensive was also known in
 German as the Plattensee Offensive, in Russian as the Balaton Defensive Operation
 (6-15 March 1945), and in English as the Lake Balaton Offensive.

The offensive was launched by the Germans in great secrecy on 6 March 1945.
 The German attacks were centered in the Lake Balaton area. This area included
 some of the last oil reserves still available to the Germans.

Operation Spring Awakening involved many German units withdrawn from the
 failed Ardennes Offensive on the Western Front including the 6th SS Panzer Army.

Prepare yourselves for fast paced action as the battle for central Europe rages in the last stages of the war!

Awesome! why no La-5 though? they served throught out the war along side the 7's

nom nom nom...  lala/g14... lala/g14... tuff call... altho' I foresee a lot of Run90-D's being used.


and not that it particularly bothers me, being GV-related (in a sense), but shouldn't at least the 190F8 be there?

The answer for both of ya is that I wanted to keep the plane set small.  If we enable every plane that flew during a specific time period, every set up would have 20 planes enabled, taking away from the feel of the set up.  Nothing is written in stone though.  I'll keep your posts under advisement.

Also, is there a way to dissable wepons ie the 3 guns on the La-7? as most of them only equiped ShVAK's?

simply go to the hangar and select the 2-gun loadout if that's what you want for *your* immersive experience.

I just want the enemy planes to have a chance if they cross my guns

New set up is loaded.  Enjoy folks.

why are friendly icons set to 2.5 instead of the usual 3?

2.5 is "usual"...3 is rare and depends on the setup.

[USRanger]

The setup had only been up 2 hours and already the first complaint. .
