    Hey Cap, I have another mission idea: An OTH (over-the-horizon) radar receiver was recently damaged or destroyed by drones near Kovylkino, Mordovia, Russia. That site has very tall antennae arrayed in a straight line, and the before-and-after satellite images released online show freshly charred ground along that line. According to public data, a skywave OTH radar can detect aircraft (possibly even stealth planes) up to 3000km away. If drones weren't available, could piloted aircraft pull this off? Would you use a Bone to run in and carpet that line before being intercepted, or would something like a flight of Raptors be better?

    Thank you for doing something about my home guys, couple of things, get here if you can, just in the summer, everywhere’s a tax haven cap, there are only 2 governments and both have about 20% tax rates. Guernsey was much more heavily defended than Jersey, nearly 2000 more bunkers and forts and would probably be the hardest to invade. My great Grandma was evacuated during the war, just a few days before the bombing of Guernsey harbour and the subsequent invasion, I’m sure she would have been grateful to get home a few years earlier

    Jersey is home of my medieval family I’ve traced us back too. Still there 1000 years later! The Germans didn’t wipe them out. But wondered what the occupation was like…
    For the history minded, On related note, Big Y DNA test shows they were not Norman but Celtic. My DNA IS 95.5% Celt and was a “rare” and “close” paternal match with Kilteasheen 22 dug up in Roscommon Ireland dating to 960-1300 AD! How cool is that?

    I love DCS WW2, but sometimes I get so frustrated.
    Bugs that takes literal years to fix.
    Bad/lacking damage modeling on aircraft.
    Lack of appropriate aircraft.
    Not nearly enough AI assets.
    Completely bonkers damage modeling on ground units and ships.
    Almost complete lack of area effect damage from bombs and rockets.
    Much of this effects modern DCS too, but is more noticeable in WW2 settings.
