Thats rights....back to the start...another 15 mins forming up...20 mins crossing the channel...dam...the 109s didnt turn up on time....back to the start...15mins...20 mins....

You see?

For training you need real CO-OPs...where you can put your flight in the air 10 mins from target and with the CAP flight ready...want to swap round and fly the CAP 109s? easy...couple of clicks and away you go...want to change the planes? easy....5 mins and go again...thats why we haven't got CO-OPs and why we need them.

CO-OPs and a stable game, they are the 2 things this sim needs right now.

What is the problem to create this mission in the fmb? Even i, with no experience in the fmb, would be able to do that.

You spawn on the map and then choose the ai-plane to take over, be it fighter or bomber.

The bombers have the right loadout (no dumb human involved), and the fighters are the right type.

For different combinations you copy the mission and do the needed changes to the copy.

If you are willing to reach a goal, it is possible, but then it is way easier to lament the state CoD is in and wait for someone to do the work for the easiest way.
