Show me that they had G-2s in service, I will save you the time, they did not on the western front.

And for the TA-152s, they were not up to speed in February and not used on the western front tactical fights.

now i feel better about those allied wirbles and storch..  :D :D :D

I would formally like to lodge a complaint: I promised the Mrs. that I would stay out of the next scenario after Enemy Coast because of the amount of time I spent in planning and participation.  I can't miss this one!!!! :cry

Looks awesome folks! :aok

Hmm, ok, here you go bud, I got your back.

You did keep your promise.  See, we had planned on a different event after Enemy Coast and were going to run Winter Sky later.  We didn't do this particular event as the map wasn't ready, so technically Winter Sky is the event After the event after Enemy Coast.

There, no promises broken, we got this  :D

Announcing the first scenario of the 2012 season.  Winter Sky - Death Ground will be centered around combat in western Germany in February 1945.

The plane set will include;

Germans - Fw-190A8, Fw-190D9, Fw-190F8, Bf-109G14, Bf-109K4, Me-262, Ar-234. (IF we get the Me-410 we will add it)

Allies - Tempest, Tyhpoon, Spit XIV, Spit XVI, Mosquito VI, B-26B, P-47D20, P-47D40, P-51D, P-38J, P-38L.

Also to take advantage of the changes in the ground combat system HTC is currently testing under BETA, we will be including vehicles as part of the event.


Wow a P-47D20 would be super and appropriate, dang~ probably just a typo, throw in the D11! :salute

 :x  *polishes his Dora*

So, what about 110s since 410s are on the table?  I know they'd be a bit outclassed, so I'm not asking for them to be included, just wondering why.

Winter skins for the tanks possible in the maps?  (even without snow-friendly paint jobs, many tanks got a good dusting of it, enough to be of some signifigance to GVs.  Any skinners available for taking some existing skins and slapping on ample snow/mud? :aok )


And, last question, whats the time slot looking like?  TBD?

First combat sorties are listed late jan to early feb.

Not counting the many variants of late Fw190D models that had similar engines, performance, and weapons, that were all being trickled out before this time.

While the Ta152 itself may have certain times, it can sub in for a few other related models too.

EDIT: Not that I'm asking to have it added, just adding to the argument that it fits more than just itself.

The ME110s were only flying as NachtJadgers at this point in the war. They were some of the most successful Luftwaffe Staffelen as well.

Winter skins will be default on all tanks on the winter map except the M18, which will be a green terrain usage.. M3, WW and OSTW are also without winter skins.

Time was included in the first post as Saturday Eveningat 10pm est.

Will the 262s be avilable all frames or just last 1 or 2?

All frames and will be their own unit.  Probably JG7.
