I'll be playing Sim, however depending on how detailed the briefing's are, I might have to give in and play a few mission on Realistic first. It took me so long to find the targets on Tiger Hunt! lol Once I found them, I marked out landmarks in my head and could repeat attack runs no probs.
But you don't get any bearings to follow do you?
It's tough because although the post processing effects make the game look gorgeous, they make viability difficult!
