There is no question it would have been used there first if the war had dragged on. Germany was lucky it ended there in May[/color]

Apparently, sometime in December 1944, as the Battle of the Bulge was reaching it's peak; FDR asked Groves if the bomb could be ready soon [tm] through speeded up research for tactical use against German spearheads.
The answer was no, but we'd have it ready by about August 1945.
Groves related some of this in a news interview in 1965 following publication of his book NOW IT CAN BE TOLD.

The problem with this is neither Shrapnel Games nor Camo Workshop are "presenting" this mod in any way other than providing a space for discussions about it in our mods sub forum, so it is both inaccurate and misleading to suggest we are "presenting" it

Apologies. Here's a fixed version without the "presenting" splash screen.

Agreed. I didn't catch that the first time around. Just saw the tanks. Best just attribute it to the modder.

Clone OBAT44 after you're done making the "master" copy into OBAT42, so that Luftwaffe Paratroopers, etc can be selected as CAPTURED or ALLIED for scenarios dated 1/1946 to 5/1949.
And here's something for the Mountain troops; the Fa.223Z (or Fa.223Da); which was "Plan B" for heavy VTOL lifting from 1943 onwards apparently, when the original "Plan A", the Fa 284 kind of sputtered out.
The Fa284 would have been powered by two BMW 801 at 1,600 hp each for 3,200 hp total, for a maximum liftoff weight of 12,000 kg and an empty weight of 8,165 kg; for a payload of about 2,000 kg. A later development apparently upgraded the engines to 2,000 hp each, raising MTOW to 16,000 kg and freight load to 7,000 kg.
The Following User Says Thank You to MarkSheppard For This Useful Post:
I'd rather not do that. I'm trying to leave as small a footprint outside of 35 and 44 as possible. Also 42 contains a few useful units itself - monitors, 88s, Cavalry.
At the moment the easiest way around this problem is simply to set the scenario up in late 1949 - buy the units needed from OOB 44 and then when your done reset the dates to what you actually wanted.
What the heck is that thing? Looks like a "Drache" on steroids!
I think the Fa. 284 is more aesthetically pleasing. Would you mind awfully making one or should I have a go at it? I'm pleased we found these because they compliment the regular transport helicopters I already have really well. There was a gap there and now its been closed.

Then there's the FA 283 an apparent jet powered gyrodyne, which could be used as the basis for a series of German light utility/attack helicopters in the 1960s.
