The first mission we flew was the one where 2 Mirage and 2 A10s faced Mig29s and Su25s: First time in a long time we had to deal with a low overcast, and I think it added to the hunt especially when we were taking out the SU25s. Still, don't know where number 4 went, but getting an aerial gun kill with the A10 is always something special.
The second mission was the airport assault, and I think when providing CAS with Hueys and Sabres/Mustangs a Controller who can drop smoke is the way to go. I think that is what we were missing most. Also, they seem to have reduced the number of tracers which makes AAA so hard to find.
Last but not least the dogfights were a joy. I love my Kurfürst and fly it way too seldom. Giving up speed at low altitude is a quick ticket to the grave if Spitfires are around, so I had to do some weird aerobatics and loopings to end up in shooting position and to anticipate a turning Spitfires movement for so long is less than an easy task.

It cant be any better, it cant be any worse, because thats how it is. Quit the bitching.
