twilson37 Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 I think New Guinea would be the most practical. Midway would be a very short campaign(3 days), a Guadalcanal, Okinawa Campaign would cover vast distances(the distance from Buin to Henderson Field or Okinawa to the Home Islands is like 350 miles). A Leyte Gulf Campaign could work but I think based on the aircraft we already have, the relatively short distance(though still bigger than most of our current maps), the length of the campaign, and the parity of forces engaged, that the New Guinea campaign would make the most sense. Furthermore, it does not require adding carrier forces or invasion fleets to an already full plate for the developers just trying to develop Japanese flight models with such an overall lack of data, and new weather patterns would most likely be needed for the severe weather of the South Pacigic. On a personal note flying over the Owen Stanley Range in zero vis in a shot up A-20 sounds like some serious white knuckle flying. 4

Trooper117 Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 Guadalcanal has to come with or directly after Midway... I can remember with the old IL2 flying the Guadalcanal campaign 'Cactus Diary' and for me, it was the most enjoyable Pacific campaign out there. On a side note, another enormously enjoyable and brilliant campaign was ''White Sun, Blue Sky'' with the Flying Tigers with 70 odd missions, truly fantastic stuff at the time! 1
01Wingchaps Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 I'd LOVE to see a campaign based on the Flying Tigers, but getting sufficient information on the Japanese aircraft necessary probably makes that impossible...

All great choices, but I would add the N1K1 and -2 Shiden Kai as well. This was my favorite in the old days and could handle the the F6f and F4U in most fights just fine. Really fun to fly. 1

Props Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 Good point Count Zero, definitely '44-45 at Okinawa, late Phillipines, Iwo Jima perhaps. I would still be happiest with a '42-'43 Solomons campaign myself regardless of my delight in the George.

Lusekofte Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) If we ever gotten to PTO, we should not start at the end. There should be China, we should have it all, chronological. We should have New Guinea, Burma , christ this brand could live 100 years If it get a new game engine and be capable to make more people in servers , all these battles will bring in a great deal more people, and we get back quite a few that left. I miss the old days with real wargame in servers. Now we just get scavengers waiting for a victim Edited June 9, 2021 by LuseKofte 1

I completely agree with you there. But if they make a theater like Flying Tigers, we'll get early P-40's as well and they might just give our current one some attention. 'Cause for me too, if there's one thing in this game that's a bit of a disappointment, it's the current P-40. Maybe getting American fuel instead of Russian may be of help. Have a nice day.

Well thanks, but I have to laugh 'cause every time I start to think I'm smart I get my butt whipped by an AI or AI AAA! But I agree the argument for an Up the Solomons installment in this great sim is rather rock solid for all the good reasons previously put forth here on many occasions and would eventually give us most of the aircraft (and maps) everyone is asking for as this installment progresses through the war, just as the series has done so far with all the current content. So I keep my fingers crossed....

I have faith in the devs, if they look at another theatre and another version of P 40 will be in it, The FM will be fixed. They simply have no time to it with all the project going on. Anyway, they cannot continue to make most US models the way they has. I cannot take a fubar Corsair , Hellcat nor Dauntless. It will be a total fiasco 1

But when you see picture of P 47 return and land with two knocked out pistons, the plane covered in oil. And see what we got, I rather fly a Stuka. 1

It saw very little action, and most that made it to the field sat and were robbed of parts for the few that were actually flown in anger. Not to mention the other well known issue.
