Thunderbolt anyone?
« on: August 16, 2020, 03:24:52 PM »
Are there any P-47 campaigns worth playing available? I've been looking for one here and at M4T with no success. What I'd like to play is a preferably long campaign, either static or DGen, set on the correct map (either cross Channel, Italy or Pacific) with large air intensity or ground attack missions. I got thrown away from the BAT-provided DGen campaigns because of the stock Normandy map with the island airfield.

If you are willing to give DCG a try Lonestar's Second Front (43-44 over the channel ) and my own War over Italy  (invasion of Sicily to war's end) both have P-47 careers.

Well, looks like a reason to switch to DCG. Thanks!

Apologies  Shakaali. I should certainly have mentioned Invasion of Normandy. I have played it myself and it is first rate!

there sure are some in M4T
....

A big thank you for the Hell Hawks campaigns. I have searched "P-47" at M4T, but only in mods downloads since I thought campaigns made for the stock game could not work with BAT. I'm definitely going to try them out, then I'll go for the Sicily DCG campaign.

I'm currently working on a DGEN campaign based on 3 "Classic" USAAF Fighter Groups; 4th, 56th & 354th.

So lots of TBolt action there.  And yes the 56th FG does fly the P-47M in '45.

Now in the testing phase.

Stay tuned.
