I'm really looking forward to having the "AI" radar inform me of the size and direction of the attack, and I'm going to be as giddy as a schoolgirl the first time I fly "out of the sun" and the "AI" doesn't see me. I'm fantasizing of flying threw a huge formation of bombers and fighters as I watch them all react differently to the attack...AND I'm going to flip-out-with-joy the first time I come up from behind and below an enemy "AI" fighter and he doesn't start jinking at 300 meters.

I'm also looking forward to landing, taxing up to a rearm and refuel point, at an airbase with some activity, takeing off again within the time limit of my choosing, and attacking the same bomber group that's returning from their target area. Also AI that follows my commands no matter how stupid my orders are,

The best campaign mode for me would be one thats not a series of missions but a continues historical campaign that only stops when I stop the game, fast forward. or rewind. I don't want to control the battle from the point of view of Air Commodore. Just the ability to fly exclusively for a certain squadron with all stats recorded and/or jump into any aircraft thats available or flying at the time I restart the game.

Actually this is a good question for OM. Are you considering making a continues historical campaign that runs for months? This is one reason I really enjoy the Warclouds server. The action is continuous 24/7 wether I'm there or not, but off-line you can pause it, fast forward, rewind, or restart.
