New USAAF Campaign Desperately Needed
So far in BoP the American side of the air war and American aircraft are severely underrepresented, a situation which desperately needs remedying. Also high altitude bomber escort is nowhere in the title so why not kill three birds with one stone? New full, extensive campaign DLC featuring the P-38, B-29, B-24, P-40, later P-51 marks, later P-47 marks etc which documents the USAAF strategic air campaign from 1942-1945. I would propose it also contain a couple of new city maps as well, Hamburg, Munich, Ploesti etc.
You could start in 1943 in one of the early unescorted B-17 missions with heavy losses, thus illustrating the need for fighters. Then do escort duty in a P-38, working your way through the transition to P-47 and P-51 models allowing for deeper raids into Germany, while witnessing the updated German models of 109s and 190s in response, maybe even late in 45 go up against 262s and 163s. The flak would also have to be turned waay up form anything currently seen in the game.
I realize there are other DLC suggestion threads, but I think that the under-representation of the USAAF in BoP demands special notice and urgent rectification. We already have very significant showings from the British and Russian perspective on the war with tons of planes, and missions. So far for the Americans we have 3 campaign missions and 5 planes (two of which are broken)? New and extensive USAAF Strategic Air War DLC is the most natural expansion of BoP!
