Organising flights in a multisquad campaign.

[csThor]

Never heard anything about the USL so I can't compare but essentially I envision a system in which the RAF will not know what the LW will attack until the action is underway. It's not that I want the LW to announce its targets before flying ... that would make the whole system pointless (all that will be known in advance is the area of operations - ergo whether the west or the east of the Channel map will be used).
Tactically the squadrons should be given not more than a general task but not told "you must do close escort for the bombers". All these considerations should be up to the squad.

We had around 70 last time at the peak if I recall. Were hoping to fill the server.

Good Post Osprey. Heh 4 minutes hey? Good guess then. You guys can sit on the ground in readyness, no problem.

Ok example for the mission menu:
Select red side then TAB->4 at moment the "radar" is not functional, menu at the moment is an example, so feel free to comment
