Give me some "holy sh... did that just happen" ideas

Hi,

Regarding 'briefings' for missions:

For the Battle of Britain, standard il2-style (or the improved BOB version) pre-flight briefings setting out the target for the mission will be ok and accurate for the German and Italian side, but for an RAF fighter pilot at the height of the battle it won't be realistic (unless they are flying planned 'patrols' over some sector - eg "patrol Dover at 15,000 feet")

RAF fighters should have A LOT of scramble missions to reflect the historical reality - with a ONE-WORD briefing - "SCRAMBLE!" , or even better, a jump-cut directly into the game - pilots charging for their aircraft as someone shouts "Squadron scramble!" (or if the animations aren't available, just starting in the cockpit of your plane)

More information would be passed to the pilot in flight - ie heading, altitude, estimated number of enemy aircraft.

[Edit: this obviously applies more to the 'campaign' generation of missions]
