Just inherited this game from my sons. Can't figure out the last scenario in the Stalingrad campaign, the one which you need to down all the Ju-52 transports. I don't know how many times I've tried it with changing tactics each time, but it seems even the AI wingmates don't help much. Any suggestions? Thanks for the responses in advance.

Use the search option and search for Hornets nest.
There are several threads that should help you.
If you try it in arcade mode, try to change to realistic and give it a go.
I fin that if you order your wingman to attack one flight and go after another your self, it would do the trick.

what system are you using? it seems some missions in one system are much easier or way more difficult from the other. a search like Kav said is your best first start...

Is that the one that Ju-52s fly during the night to drop supplies? Even though you are correct in your assessment that AI wingmates don't help much, do what KAV suggested, i.e. keep pressing that “wingmen button” and my advice to you is to restart the mission as soon as you fail to destroy individual plane within few seconds (< 5), because you'll run out time to chase another group of transporters and they will reach the drop zone. Key is also to reach those groups very fast and as far away as possible from the drop zone so you have enough time to bring them down, but do not position yourself too far from the other transport group. Good luck!

what time zone are you in? on mondays and tuesdays there seems to be a $#!t load of boxers on at night....11ish EST to ???? some pretty good games. if you want someone to fly around with to get your feet wet online add me to your friends list ( GT Bobbysockser). we'll just fly around..and you can shoot me up..or whatever you need to work on. suggest you start to gravitate more to realistic and sim. 90% of the games are played in real...but there are a bunch of sim players there. 4 or 5ish in the afternoon ( EST ) you can catch the boys from the uk and they do a lot of sim. they are great guys and you will have fun. as for that mission...remember you can switch pilots at will. so like Kav said...order your wingmen to attack one flight while take on another....then switch pilots ( to one of your wingmen) to finish off the second group. flip flop back and forth and you can keep a couple flights of EAs busy at the same time.

Thanks for the advice all! It depends upon what time my sons get off the xbox so to allow me a few minutes of playing time. Most of the time I'm on the evenings.
