    Icon22 You don't see this much!

    Hey guys,

    I shared this with Shadow Wolf, but I thought this would be of possible interest:
    "Rami"

    Impressive Rami! Now that's how you fight with an Airacobra, against a vastly superior aircraft, the FW-190. I was hoping to see his 37mm in action, as I learned that most of the Cobra's on the Ostfront were equipped with for ground support duties. I was always impressed with how well the Russians did with the Cobra against 109's and 190's when other allies, including the US, were quick to discard it for the new stuff.

    Shadow Wolf 07 - third guy from the left, "Lightning" in Red Tails, right?

    Hi Bearcat241:
    It has been a while since I've seen anything from you. Yes... I've also wondered why the western allies were so quick to drop the P-39. But Soviet production capacity and the demand needed to cover the largest land war in human history, left them eager to take and utilize everything Lend Lease provided. The only film I've noticed them was in "Air Force."

    Future campaign setting?

    I would like to do a campaign over this area of operations, sometime in the near future: https://www.nationalww2museum.org/wa...ZCEpRY5hJc-uc8 I already have an MTO install set up. I just need to get a good aerial order of battle and some mission plans to get started.

    In this Link you will the task groups used in Operation Dragoon and the planes they carried.Most of their missions were ground support but Hellcats from the US Carriers shot down some He 111's,Ju 88's over an airfield and Ju 52's while attacking German armor.They also destroyed trains.
