German fighter Dornier 335

Aces High,

It would be awesome to introduce this airplane to the main arena late war. It saw combat in 1944, 1945. About 200-250 were built and flown. Perhaps perked, as it was considered the fastest piston engine aircraft flown in WWll.  :rock

Though about half of them were of the civillian version used by the Lufthansa  :old:

Sorry, but those numbers you cite are way, way off.  Only some thirty-five or forty were built, and several of those were unfinished when the Allies over-ran the factory at Oberpfaffenhofen.  The 335 is certainly fascinating, but it was a long, long way from being in service.  

Here is a photo of the Dornier airfield at Oberpfaffenhofen taken just a few days after the end of the war, during an operation named Trolley.

But it would be cool to see the Oberpfaffenhofen airfield with the unflyable 335s on a German terrain.  Heck, think of them as terrain 'Easter eggs' ... all the rare and unfinished wishbirds. :D

In a terrain im making,  I want to put a bunch of bears randomly placed around the map. And maybe a Maus hidden away somewhere as a destructible object.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

That would be cool, as well. The more unique destroyable objects, the better.

for me, that's getting a bit late war/1946 when there are plenty of actual WW2 planes not available. But a 1946 mod would be a lot of fun and would have to include a map called Wolfenstein with supersoldiers.
