It's a whole different kind of challenge, where you need to think less in terms of air combat maneuvering and more in terms of prior tactical planning, flight plans and navigation. And now with the extra CEM and navigation issues (magnetic deviation, knowing how to set and read a compass, etc) it's even better.

Spot on, Blackdog_kt, and I also look forward to the Mosquito. I enjoy dogfights but they do get tiresome after a while when there's no larger objective. And the satisfaction of successful evasion definitely adds another dimension!
In this instance I could have targeted the AA in the first pass. It would be nice and easy since they are clustered together on the server map. But the roll over does the job nicely. You definitely don't want to continue straight after dropping your bombs on ATAG #2...
