Would you like to play a Spitfire Mk.IXe campaign for the Battle of Bodenplatte project?

Hello everyone!

 

I'm close to finishing the Spitfire Mk.IXc campaign for the Normandy map, and I'm considering continuing the story on the Rheinland map during September-December 1944. 

 

But there are two potential problems with such a campaign:

1) it's known that this map is missing some industrial zones, and it also has an insufficient network of roads and settlements in the Bastogne area, but you simply will not be operating in these areas.

2) the missions will essentially repeat what you've already done in the Tempest campaign "Wind of Fury", but you'll be flying a Spitfire Mk.IXe from slightly different airfields))

 

What do you think?

As always, your content and missions are top quality, @BlackSix

 

Whether it’s a Spitfire, a 109, or a Yak, what truly matters is everything you build around them, and you do an excellent job at that 😃

So please, choose whatever you’d like to work on next.  I’m sure we’ll all enjoy it a lot!

Kind regards,

Rejecting any campaign from you would be heresy. With the already existing His Majesty's Griffons campaign and the new one from Normandy, a campaign set in between them would make a very appealing trilogy. So I vote yes.

 

There are always several untouched options, such as: Soviet Hurricane, Soviet P-40, P-39, BF-109 or FW-190 on the Western Front, ME-262, or whatever... But if you have an idea already, do it. There are never enough Spitfires. 

 

I find it impressive that in addition to developing the new S&L module and Korea, you are always making new high-quality campaigns and updating the old ones. So whatever you decide to do, I will definitely support it and play it sooner or later.

I've been considering these options, and the situation is this:

- Soviet Hurricane, P-40 or P-39 campaign is either the Battle of Moscow, for which I don't have any good ready-made templates, or the early period of the Battle of Stalingrad, for which I've already created three campaigns.

- Bf 109, Fw 190 or Me 262 on the Western Front map is completely out of the question because the airfields are located too far from the front lines, especially in Normandy. I don't want to make missions with long flights...

Good point. I forgot to take into account the distance of the German airfields and your preference for shorter missions.  Maybe Jaegermeister will take the bait.

In this case the last thing that comes to my mind is the P-39 in the fall of 1943 in the Kuban. Something like Juri's Kerch-Eltigen operation, only from a Soviet perspective. The German evacuation from the Kuban, the fighting over the Kerch Strait, maybe the first Soviet landings in the Crimea. This could be an opportunity to let the P-39 shine a little.

 

But that's just some "thinking out loud"....Bodenplatte Spitfire will be good.

I've researched this issue in detail before, and unfortunately, creating such a campaign is impossible. In October and November 1943, the Russians built several additional airfields in Taman, from which the P-39s flew. The career ends on October 10th, and no additional airfields will be created for this map; I asked((

This isn't as critical for Luftwaffe missions, but it's crucial for the Red Army Air Forces. Any P-39 campaigns in the spring or summer of 1943 is also impossible from me, as their airfields were located at least 80 km from the front lines.
