IIRC, the primary complaint was the transfer, transfer, transfer missions.

I'm not saying you should change to DCG campaigns, I'm just saying what I prefer.

I like the custom campaigns we do. They are more interesting than DCG which did turn into a transfer fest. Also DCG doesn't take into account any of the new stuff through the mod.

Well the bigger question is what campaign haven't we done yet? Has there been any campaign in the Pacific?

I'm working on my Battle of Kursk campaign, hopefully it will be done by the time we finish this one

Though I must warn, there will be no mercy for weaker computers

Then there's the question, who wants to fly for 30min to the target and back? The pacific campaings are great (heck, they got zero's), but the maps and flight time are HUGE.

The current Kuban Campaign has 49 missions, plenty of time I recon.

Next time you tell me to kill a train, at least remember to tell me it isn't moving so I don't wander off into communist territory for no reason

I think the enemy AI level needs to be looked at in the FMB as at the moment they are all donkeys.

I had an F4F fly right in front of me. The only reason I didn't shoot it down was because I thought it was an Fw-190 and I wanted to check its wing markings first. Then it turned off and I lost it.

He didn't even try to engage.

Sure I like getting kills and am now an ACE but still I like to work for them.

I think the AI skill is randomized...every plane in a group has different skill levels. (at least how they are set with the German aircraft in this campaign)

the Hellcat I shot down was quiet a easy one, but there was one sitting on my tail holding on and blazing his guns at me, Task Force got me rid of that one.

the Corsair I shot down as my 2nd kill was going nuts in front of my gunsight.

The AI was attacking on the first mission. I was following one that tried to shoot someone down, then it went to the ultimate 100G rolling-frenzy. So yeh, I think they are randomised.

Yes, lost all input and the plane kept on rolling to the left until it splashed. Seems to work again now after a reboot (didnt help re-plugging and restarting IL2 ).
