Thanks Speed for that info. I have already updated my Syria map to include the real Russian operating areas (and real targets in Syria). That would be a good idea for a mission. Though as soon as you launch a land-attack missile, you're detected - that could make things hairy! Leave it with me!
P7, not sure if you're going with the whole 'trash-talk' angle, but rest assured I've done a fair bit of reading into recent naval history and have read the 'mission editor' manual back to front. Time is the biggest issue - but I'll see what I can come up with over the weekend.
Some of the best 'personal' missions I've made are more 'secret squirrel' ops, where you've done well if you don't have to fire a shot - I'm not sure if that's got a wide appeal - but we'll see.
Cheers gents,
Stew
