D-Day invasion
« on: March 18, 2024, 01:10:38 PM »
is there any interest in a Air AND ground invasion in normandy with support aircraft from both sides trying to either help or stop the invasion?

mind you i dont know history that well, but im good with air and GV spawns. we could make something work.

Sounds like a great idea for the next scenario or something smaller in June. Could be a yearly mini-event to remember D-Day.

Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

I swear, I recently watched a doc and was just wondering the same exact thing.

I think anything that includes air, sea and land events could be more inclusive of all players. I’m just not sure how to pull off the beach scene, because without it it would be lacking a little. Might take a custom map and spawn points.  Also a LOT of ships.

The limits of the air battle would be allies had air superiority, as germans were tricked to be somewhere else. IIRR.

Anything can be epic if enough thought is put into it. Push the evelope.

Could be pretty fun with a one day event for 6 hours where everyone gets 3 lives and you have a huge battle to try to take the field near the shore. Could have multiple types of tanks, jabo squads, fighters, and air attack/defense.

Structures would have to be triple strengthend in order to make it last longer and be more challenging to attack.

I'm thinking planes like P51D, P47D40, Spit8,9, P38s, Hurr2c, Typhoons, 109G14, 109k, 190A8/D, 110s, B25s, C47s, All the tanks I don't care about  :D

Would be some good fighting all around I'd say as the action would be compact to that one area.

i have a video with me and another pilot having a pistol duel. i won! but if i have tanks spawning in, that really wont work!


wonder if i can place a Ack gun there though, that would make things interesting!
