That depends on whether the 'gap' happens during the D-day landings. My gut feeling is probably not because of how close the landing and bombings were to Britain, as air superiority could be gained and held over France, which it could not be over Germany, the heart of air defenses ITTL and IOTL.Would this gap in bombing also effect Allied air superiority during D-Day.
Nope. It may have been produceable in 1944-5, but it wasn't really operational and IMHO was probably less useful than building more FLAK and guidance systems for it.I thought the Wasserfall was ready to be mass produced by 1943 an it was only halted that long because it wasn't given any love earlier on. If we have the RLLA early on do we see flak towers earlier than 1940 and if not do we see more or less towers built when hitler asked for them built.
I'd like to see some built prior to 1939 instead of some of the West Wall spending, as the need was certainly there to defend the Rhein industry with French airfields so close. Considering the number of ME109s (the majority of them) held in Germany to defend German production during the Polish campaign, it was obviously viewed as a main vulnerability.
I think we still see the Berlin towers build when Berlin is bombed and hopefully some built in Hamburg and other northern cities while there are further expansions in the Rhein/Ruhr cities.
