Post by: Arlo on June 03, 2004, 05:47:53 PM: Oh yeah .... a landing mission. I can see it now. A dozen LVTs versus two or three aaa beachguns. Hehehe. The carnage.

Post by: Mister Fork on June 03, 2004, 05:50:53 PM: How about Sunday night, there will be a big D-Day landing mission. The allies have CV's and coupled with air support, I'm sure they're bound to capture a base.

Make it for 8pm EST?

Post by: o0Stream140o on June 03, 2004, 07:08:55 PM: Sunday might be to early, plus a lot of guys might miss, that is our squad practice night too...

I mean Escorts are easy... something like this will take a little more time plus getting CO's up to speed.

I need:

B-17 pilots
Escort Pilots
LVT drivers

and just to add some taste to it... Goon pilots...

I would like to make a movie off of this... Axis and Allied... I know this is much to ask for... but have some guys in each recording the mission....

See if we can get some of the BG's to join along...

Post by: o0Stream140o on June 03, 2004, 08:46:41 PM: Well before this gets into a name calling thread... I have an idea have this in a 4 different operations ... now this is going to take a little bit...

Stage 1
Air interdiction Stage
B-26's, P-47's, P-51's hassling bridges, VH's, and radar Sites

Stage 2
C-47's... will dropped in zones. Have flak batteries trying to get the Goons down

Stage 3
Prep of beaches
Hitting the beaches with Attack planes.. have guys in german GV's on the beach... Needless to say that the Luftwaffe didn't have an abundance of pilots at this time.

Stage 4
Storming Beaches...
Have everyone Allied storm beaches in LVT's, have some guys in the ships shelling a base inland. Have the Axis guys in Ground guns and GV's trying to stop the allied advance...

Just an idea....

Post by: Jester on June 03, 2004, 10:52:48 PM: Get everone in on it.........

A wave of 30+ LVT's coming into the beach would be something while the ships pounded away at the shore facilities and aircraft CAP'ed overhead.

Post by: TrueKill on June 05, 2004, 08:34:55 PM: stream u shouldnt let the cvs shell the fields cuz on D-Day 95% of the shells landed to far inland to do any damage to any of the german defences. oh and i think we should get the dam tiger dont know y they didnt give it to us that jsut stupid germany had around 1000 tigers made here is a page that has the stats or the Tiger.

http://www.wwiivehicles.com/html/germany/pzkpfw_vie.html
look at the bottem of the page it shows how many tigers were made in each month between 1942-1944

In a Normandy orchard in the summer of 1944. Note the Zimmerit coating
