The texts you see are just something I typed in in 5 minutes to fill in the box. It's just a test mission never in a million years intended to be a part of the final release.

I am aware that this won't be part of the final release, but I felt I needed to get my impression out ... make it known to you since you happen to miss emails concerning the topic
I did not say that there should be a list of waypoints, but a much more in-depth description of ingress and egress for a formation which surely consists of more than just four bombers. Standard size for a german bomber attack was a Gruppe, and often more than that, so the briefing would have to contain information on take-off sequence of the Staffeln on the airfield (so that there's no major scrap heap in the middle of the runway 'cause 7. and 9. Staffel wanted to take-off at the same time), position of individual Staffeln within the Gruppe's formation, the Gruppe's place within a larger formation, locations, times and altitude for picking up fighter cover, information of advance sweeps and other operations in the area, stuff about emergencies (i.e. radio frequencies and callsigns for SAR) ...
Such stuff. IMO a briefing is more than a simple text saying "Fly there, shoot that, go back."
