kav you are obviously way ahead of me in the unlocks. what unlocks the dresden mission? i went back to the d-day campaign because i wasnt happy with "search and destroy". i actually think that is a pretty good mission and recommend it anyone who wants to practice gunnery. you get to fly all over northern france and shoot up anything that moves. and i am glad they didnt put bombs on the ac for this. but straffing things gives you an eye for shooting and well, i need all the help i can get. the way the boilers blow on the locomotives is dead on from gun camera footage i have seen. but a couple trains have flak wagons on them and those can get you if you arent careful. the barges are kinda fun to shoot up. the trucks more of a challenge...but the guy on the motorcycle is tough and getting him unlocks your 51-H! my only gripe with is the same old one...that the 51 flies like a pig and you end up continually augering in or spinning at low altitude and crashing. i did find out through trial and error that it doesnt seem to stall and spin as easily if you use cockpit view only. maybe its me but it really doesnt. so i wanted to retry in that mode and it was way much better by far. so if any of you had troubles with that mission or didnt like how you played it the first time, or like i said just want to sharpen your gunnery skills try flying it like that. now i am going to go back to "operation jubliee" about the dieppe raid and do the same thing.
