I´m trying to get out of Anzio beachead (Erik´s US 43-44) and suddeenly faced a couple Me 262´s over my head! How is it possible? Schwalbes were only operational by the end of 1944! Has this campaign turned to be a what if scenario?

18th July 1944 first Me 262's combat flight, 26th July 1944 first air combat involving Schwalbe (leutnant "Bubi" Schreiber shot down Mosquito)

But there should be a lot of Do 217s and He 111s with Fritz X and Hs 293 radio controlled bombs to fight with the ships over Anzio beachhead
Are they there?

The jet may be an error in my source, I'll check.

Hi Erik;

May I suggest you to replace the jets by FW 190´s or late war italian fighters?

Assuming US Corps is your source I hope you take some artistic license with those campaigns and dial back the wonder weapon nonsense that went on with that DLC.

There are no wonder weapons in OOB, so I've substituted with available unit types.
