I meant the ones doing the escort

I found two campaigns at M4T. One is another PTO campaign spanning from March '43 to September '43. It has only three airstart missions. The planes are the PBN and the Corsair. The other was an offline campaign called the 20th Fighter Group Campaign, in the ETO with 62 missions. The planes would be the P-38J and the P-51D later on. The spans the war from '43 to '45. But I think the most of the missions would be boring as they are escort missions, yet there are some ground attack missions in there too. Theres also a compleatly non-historical campaign called Air Pirates, a "what if" campaign if pirates ruled the seas and the skies.

@Red Max: I can always unlock the bombers or the ones we are supposed to escort as playable in the FMB.

I think tonight before we fly we discuss a couple of those campaigns we can find.

I think it was designed to be played at a low realism setting with unlimited ammo and stuff. Not really my cup of tea.

Just throwing it out there, besides it not like we can't fly it on full realism.

I once read the description of it and I think to recall that the number of AI planes is so high that unlimited ammo is needed to be able to win the missions.

Sounds like a sort of Golfplatz rookie AI-turkey shoot

Don't worry Jim,
just a connection loss that hitted us both that briefly kicked us out of the server. I was able to reconnect just 5 minutes later.
