You will learn that even during Desert Storm a normal Mission took up to eight hours to prepare with several briefings, intelligence Meetings and so on.

But you are also right. In several cases (especially the A-10) there were planes on hot standby and were partly rearmed and refueled with engines running which was a matter of minutes up to an hour. These was made for 3 or 4 missions a day then the planes got cheked for a extended period.

So in my opinion emsoys Statement to create a workaround for a quick mission would be fine in my case.
Thank you for your reply

I have nowhere said it didn't take time to load, refuel a.s.o

It was this "huge time" to get a Fighter jet ready (loaded with bombs etc)

"a normal Mission took up to eight hours to prepare with several briefings, intelligence Meetings and so on. "

I asked a question before is Command a Computer Vs Computer generated game play? If yes then the sentence I copied from you is correct when used in the game.
But if the game is a Player Vs Computer generated game then it IS MY JOB to do these things. NOT THE GAME-The only thing the game have to do is to (re)load,(re)fuel)or (re)arm the plane and maybe do some repair(hope this event will come in a later issue of the game)

And that's one of the thing I'm hoping for - let us the player do the planning a.s.o
