German Campain

[TheFrommie86]

with the announcement of the new USA AF DLC I suspect that a DLC for German Campain could also be planned.

Correct me if I'am Wrong with that, but it could be.

Wich german planes will be better to play?

The Heinkel He 177 "Greif" for exapmple.

The He177 only flew operationally for about 2 years before the Luftwaffe grounded it. It was saddled with a lot of issues, from overheating engines to poorly designed & weak wings to the lack of a suitable sight for level bombing. Not sure how well it'd fit into the Bomber Crew system.


If the devs continue on with expanding the game, I'd love to see them go for something really different, like the PBY Catalina. Bombing, recon, convoy escort, submarine & ship hunting, rescue of downed pilots, the Cats did it all. Not to mention it was an amphibious aircraft that also had retractable wheels, so missions could use both land and sea basing.

The He-111 would fit in the game. They could have the campaign either run through the Blitzkrieg years, from Poland to Britain, or start with Barbarossa and end in '43 or so.

As polish i don't mind but i don't think devs will make german campaing based on attack on poland. That was not a war that was a war crime. In this game you can only bomb factories and militury dupms. But in german one the happy cartoony people would have to bomb cities with smiles on there faces

[Jasina]

Would they though? Germans didn't bomb civilian targets exclusively and it's not like the game is taking itself too seriously. It's not trying to tell a story about the horrors of war or anything, just an arcade'y fun.

As if the Lancaster and B-17 didn't bomb civilians.
Oh wait, they did, because bombing cities was an actual strategy since precision bombing was non-existant at the time... and there's a lot of former bomber crew members who have mentioned how sick and hypocrite they feel when doing so.
Some even visited german cities after the war to see how much they had reduced to rubble.

The game isn't supposed to be historically realistic, considering we have a Lancaster take down the entire luftwaffe *alone*, bombed Hitler's bunker and used guided missiles, all in an overly cartoonish style... and Poland wasn't the only country bombed to the ground by germany, stop victimizing yourselves, you're not the only ones who have suffered from a war.

na, I think some people don't even know about dresden or operation Gomorra....
It's easier to believe in a simple allies good, germans bad system...

... and that's why a german campaign wouldn't be a good idea...the DLC would be brandmarked as nazi propaganda...

If a german campaign would see the day, it should hapopen during the battle of britain era (before the blitz), using a He-111, because after that there was not much strategic bombing.

[Ottomic]

I don't think there will be a German campaign because the Germans back then had a terrible case of the Nazis.

Little known fact, I know.

German bombers were far too small to make fun gameplay - they never developed a heavy bomber, which is what the Lancaster and B17 are.

Basically - it'd be crapper than you think it would be.

that's where you're wrong, kiddo (no offense, it's a meme)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinkel_He_177

standard bomb weight was the double of that of the B-17, or the same as the overload B-17

[Jonnydodger]

The problem with doing a German campaign is the same problem with doing a Soviet campaign, that being making the campaigns feel distinct from the main game. There’s only so many ways you can bomb Europe.

The developer has expressed interest in having a Short Sunderland campaign, however. Which on top of adding a new theatre (the North Atlantic) it would come with new mechanics and objectives beyond bombing factories.

Ah I'd forgot about the 177 - and no worries about the "kiddo", even if it's weird for someone over 35 to be refered to as such lol xD

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blohm_%26_Voss_BV_238 Sure only one was made but it can have 12 crew members, 3 more than the us bomber thats being introduced. Interesting plane to fly in warthunder especially when you start doing loops and barrel rolls. Until the ground decides to come and ruin your flight.

[Urfisch]

any news on a german plane to fly?
