New USAAF Campaign Desperately Needed

[FOZ_1983]

Korea would have to be a whole new game since its not WW2,

though a pacific campaign could work, yet it would be small (very small) so it would take alot of work to make such a campaign, why not just make the sequel the battle in the pacific? though the russians clealry wouldnt feature so heavily, and neither the brits. The dutch would on the other hand and the americans. I just really dont even see them thinking about anything for BoP that features the pacific.

If anymore DLC comes out then im almost certain its going to stay in the european theatre and offer us simple missions like we already got with the last one. Simple things like

"protect the convoy coming through the english channel from JU87'S"
"escort the B17's to the target and back (again!) though this time in the P51"
"take part in a raid against an enemy airfield in your blenheim bomber"


Just short simple missions like so, something easy to do and that will rake in the cash.

Agreed on what we will *probably* get, but doing Korea *theoretically* could be as simple as creating F-86 and MiG-15 flight models and a new map. All of the physics and weapons are the same. The only trick might be adding speed breaks, but you could skip it or make a cheap solution and it would be no big deal. Maybe speed breaks could take the place of the view change (y on gamepad) or some other little used button in a pinch?

*Edit actually the British side of the Pacific wouldn't be so hard to do, wasn't the RAF active in the Burmese and Australia/New Zealand theaters?

As for the Russians... yeah Stalin didn't even declare war on the Japanese until the last months of 1945, just in time to seize Manchuria and influence China without doing any of the heavy lifting, boy I'm glad FDR and Truman trusted him, I'm sure the Chinese are as well.

IL-2 Korea sounds appealing.

Stormoviks were flown by the North Koreans and there were still a fair few prop jobs doing most of the ground attack work, new fangled jets being too vulnerable to FlaK damage and expensive.

Dogfighting a Mig-15 with a Royal Navy Hawker Sea Fury turbo prop fighter would make for an ineresting experience.

Ditto flying an F8 Skyraider on a ground attack mission.

B-36 bombers with an F-86 Sabre or Goblin mini-fighter slung under the belly.

Early semi-blind SAM missiles coming up at ya....

North Korean dumb fire rocket FlaK....

All those crappy early post WW2 US Navy jet fighters with the underpowered and unreliable Westinghouse J-34 jet powerplant....

Sounds better the more I think about it....

Ok to answer as many as i can...

yes the Brits were in Burma/NZ/Singapore etc but the japanese gave us a good kicking so we struggled in this theatre, this was more an american scenario, your bigger than us remember were only a small country, we were busy in europe/africa

The americans entered the war in 1941 after pearl harbour. Though a small amout did fly for the RAF during 1940

A game basd in korea.... im not so keen. Its the border between old and new and its just going to be awkward i think. Im happy with WW2 flying games

I would like to see the inclusion of more skins for planes, and some single missions in africa maybe? this could include the italians/germans/french/brits/yanks and could offer something different.

Cant be that hard to create a desert either surely and i'd get to fly the hurricane with 4 cannons hopefully or huge gun pods under the wing for anti tank duty (though seriously messing up speed and manouverability).

I can wish though eh?

Forgot this post in all of the national controversy, but yeah! My thoughts exactly, theres a lot more variety to the aircraft flown in korea than most realize also: TWIN MUSTANGS! I love how the Air Force thought: whats better than one mustang? Two mustangs obviously! If it worked for Twix candy bars it can work for the P-51, so they just welded a couple together and the result: AWESOMENESS!

I forget who said it but somebody back there said they thought it wouldn't be very cool due to the early stage of jet development, well to each his own, but the F-86 and MiG-15 were very reliable and well engineered aircraft for their generation, its basically like WW2, just a lot faster. See the MiG Alley episode of Dogfights, its one of the best ones for great guns battles.
