Another time, maybe mission 20, i crash landed near Canterbury and sat and watched as 2 Stugs rolled past, then a British Cruiser which hit them from behind. (The things you see when you don't have a Panzerfaust! ) Too cool.

If you 'look under the hood' using FMB you can see land battles scattered over the front, independent of air action but adding to immersion. You could delete these and win some fps I suppose? But so cool after a dogfight to see smoke rising on the horizon, fly over to check it out, see some Brit emplacement under attack by Panzers or flak trucks, or maybe it was hit by 110s, you strafe it, and head home. You think you are safe and some Hurricanes jump you or Wellingtons hit as you land! So much going on...i loved it.

Maybe even I will fly the Raf campaign... Tho it would hurt!

PS

Haha I agree, and boy is it fun to strafe ground targets! I enabled unrealistic ammo as well so that I could extend the missions and help out in other parts of the attack, assuming my objective was met without incident. I found that to be way more fun as a 45-50 minute sortie with 10 or 11 kills may not be realistic, but boy is it fun.

Edit: also, from what I could tell, the RAF campaign is the same as Luftwaffe except for the last 5 or 6 missions - aside from the fact that you're on the other side of the engagement, of course.
