Keep in mind that I’m still learning how to play. I’ve run two missions in the USAF 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis campaign.
MISSION 1
Target: Ammunition Depot
Pilots: Echo (Skilled), Splashdog (Average), Smokes (Green)
Aircraft: F-4 Phantom x3
Result: Target Destroyed; no aircraft lost
MISSION 2
Target: AAA Sites
Pilots: Boomer (Skilled), Papa (Average), Cajun (Green)
Aircraft: F-4 Phantom x3
Result: Target Undamaged; all aircraft lost, pilots Papa and Cajun MIA
So I went from total success to total failure, in the span of two missions.
I’m abandoning the campaign, writing it off as a training exercise.
