He wants to know which part of the beach is modeled in the game.

JezusChr7st · 07-10-2001, 12:36 AM

hmm, i think what he means is

what "sections" of the beach are in the game... as most of us know, the beach wasnt a tiny section, and there were more landings then most people know

be it Sword Beach... or Gold Beach.

but at any rate... i cant tell you for sure, im pretty sure though that it is a fair sized section of beach, but i really have no clue as to WHICH landing it is....

It's probably Dog Green. This is what it was on Saving Private Ryan, Charlie Company of the Second Ranger Bn. landed there, as their original spot mind you, and since it's a flat beach and you're a Ranger, I'm assuming it's not Point Du Hoc. Nooch.

If hes asking what i'm thinking, i think he means what sector of beach did 2015 model. eg. (Saving Private Ryans sector was in Dog Green at the Vierville Draw) From the placement of the bunkers and the fact that Mike Powell is in C-Company 2nd Rangers I'd have to think he'd be at the western-most flank of the beachead Making it Charlie Sector that your landing in (right next to Dog Green Sector where they landed in SPR) This was one of the most heavily defended sections of beach at Omaha which itself alone was a nightmare. A Company lost 95% of its force in teh first 5 minutes to give everyone an idea of how horrific it was. Hope my info was helpful.

Charlie Sector is correct. There is a brief description of the mission here:

"You will land at 0635 hours on D-Day, only moments behind soldiers from the 116th Inf. Regiment."

I take it this means we're going to see the 116th Inf. Regiment get massacred when we land.

Hum, the pics I saw didn't look like D1 Exit...

Charlie Sector was protected by by WN72 (on the hill side right to the D1 Exit) and the WN73 (on the hill top). The WN71 is located on the left hill.

There were 2 bunkers near the beach :

- Bunker (Type H677) with a 88-Pak gun, opened on the east side (left).
- Bunker (Type SK) with a 50mm gun, double opened on the west and east side.

- Trenches nearly linked the two bunkers with MG spots.

- On the bottom of the hill behind the two bunkers, there was a bunker with a tobrouk (MG)

What would be cool is that, in the mission briefing they tell you if you move too far up the beach, you'll hit a minefield and you'll blowup, that would be one way to stop people running off the edge of the map...

Well it would stop them having to model the entire coast...

For the 1st wave, the C company of the 2nd Ranger Bn. landed ashore on Charlie sector and A company of the 116th Inf. Rgt. landed on dog green.

The F and G companies of the 116th Inf. Rgt. landed on Easy Green instead of Dog Red and Dog White.
