Aerofalcon14 is an unknown quantity at this point
The strategy on D-day was primarily concentrated around tanks, including DD tanks( amphibious tanks) unlike other beaches, where most of the tanks made it ashore, many of the tanks attached to the invasion force on omaha beach sunk before they ever touched the beach. the reason for this is largely attributed to these tanks traveling parallel to the waves rather than against them, causing them to be swamped, p( since DD tanks are largely unreliable to any but the calmest of ocean conditions
