3 Commando Brigade

Actually speaking of psychological effect, a new morale and stress system will be added to the game. So Stuka sirens, hearing an artillery bombardment, or other direct or in-direct psychological weapons affecting morale or stress would be fantastic.

Let me give you a quote/joke from German ground forces in Normandy:

German humour strikes again.

That is if you see a German plane in the first place.  But truth, Jabos ripped up any German forces they saw.

Another three:

Just saw a snapshot of the gameplay, for an American unit, I saw 3 off map units in the bottom left-hand corner
1- P-51 Mustang (could be used as jabo)
2- L-4 Grasshopper as recon plane (or special "Rosie Rocketeer" with Maj. Charles "Bazooka Charlie" in the cockpit, please tell me someone understands this reference so i'm not a nerd)
3- Naval Battery

I disagree, by the D-Day invasion, not only had the Allies gained air superiority, but it can be argued they gained air supremacy. According to 1 soldier, he only ever only saw 1 Stuka during the entirity of the war, and that was at Carentan during the early days of the invasion. That being, a soldier that was never once taken out combat from June 6th 1944, to May 8th 1945, only for the 2 months from July to September 16th, and a short lull in December but being taken back only a few days after R&R due to the Battle of the Bulge. In game, of course the Germans will have a chance to contest the skies, historically, they could only muster up 1000 planes for their "big" offensive in December and nothing more, albeit with pilots with less than 20 hours flight time. Allied supremacy was obvious, even on the D-Day beaches days after the invasion, a conversation was heard by Eisenhower and his son, John Eisenhower,  a newly graduated West Pointer.
*John after seeing vehicles of all kinds driving bumper to bumper, completely against doctrine*
John: "You'd never get away with this if you had air supremacy."
Eisenhower: "If I didn't have air supremacy, I wouldn't be here".

The German Luftwaffel, also had huge issues when it came to pilots and even more importantly, with fuel for their planes.As a result, a lot of pilots or other air crew in training got transferred to infantry units as replacements. But they were definitely some german aircraft in the air. But these aircraft had issues with the superiority of allied planes and a lot of them also got shot down by friendly forces, since the German forced were a bit nervous on the trigger when they saw or heard a plane approach. 

Anyway. I think we will get a game in which you will be able to use historically accurate vehicles and troops, but the game will probably not use historical numbers for the sake of balanced gameplay. 

Totally agree with MeFirst. Luftwaffe, as you both mentioned, was there in significant enough numbers for people to notice, but it didn't make a difference what so ever. On the invasion itself only a few Luftwaffe aircraft were spotted, and within seconds of spotting them you got the entire damn fleet firing with every weapon they got, never mind the barrage balloons. All in all, Luftwaffe planes were seen by lots of soldiers, but often in small groups, no more than 8, and more a nuisance than anything that can change course of events. Back to the game, Eugen will of course not limit the Luftwaffe to a 5 fighters to have historical numbers, but it could, however, if possible, have worse pilot stats for the Germans, who by early '43 were losing pilots extremely quickly who keep getting replaced by worse and worse pilots.

Don't believe even an estimate is available on that, all it says is this year.
