I was reading in this that the pilots were paid a $600 a month salary, $675 for flight leaders.

Couple thoughts on combat this campaign:

Remember you have two .50s in the nose but your wing guns are .303s. Just like in the Battle of Britain campaign those .303s can be effective but only over a very short range. You gotta get in REAL close, like .30 or closer.

Second, altitude, altitude, altitude. These jap types have super maneuverability. If they can come down from above and latch on to our tails they are very hard to shake before you take critical damage. Get every foot of alt you can. Better to find you are 5000ft too high than 5000ft too low. When dealing with fighters from superior altitude work the enemy from the top down. Don't bypass a high enemy to take a shot at one down lower cause you might get bounced yourself. If the guy you target first starts diving away let him go and zoom back up and attack the highest guy again. Always look around and be sure you're hitting the highest enemies first we'll be able to keep em under control.

   Every word the C.O. said is very true. May I add just one thing? I'll use "A" flight as an example 'cause that is my flight. We are a flight of 4 and have alt. A flight of 4 enemy twin engine planes pass under us going the other way. We at once do a 180 turn...keep alt. and catch up to them. Flight leader send in one plane to do a over head gun run and hopefully break them up and then each man picks a twin and KILLS the bugger and re-join our leader.

I don't normally respond to advice posted on here,however,the post from DW and TD goes along perfectly with what I have read in many books dealing with air combat. I admire and congratulate all you men that can shoot down fighter's while making it look so easy,wish I could do that,In the last campaign I was credited with 3 air kills. I think one of the biggest mistakes we make when first fly this sim is that we tend to shoot at planes that are completely out of range,I know I still do sometime in hopes of forcing an enemy off the tail of one of our guys,sometimes it works sometimes it does not. I have also fired at a very close range and filled the meatball full of lead,parts where coming off his plane but he kept right on flying like nothing had happened. It's just my personel opinion,I know everybodys got one,but it seems to me the AI planes have a destinct performance advantage over us live pilots,their planes are faster,they climb faster,turn sharper and they all seem to be hardened combate aces. which is not completely realistic. So I will keep on blasting away at the big,slow bombers and let the hotdogs have the fighters. My two cents  adios

_AH_DarkWolf

Well the big slow bombers could also have sniper gunners that shoot you in the big fat head with the first round, so they are'nt always the safest thing to tackle either. The AI are definitely much more deadly since we went to HSFX, I suspect it's probobly something that was changed with the patches like 4.11, 4.12 etc. Used to be that veterans and aces were the real threats but now even the average pilots are quite deadly. It depends alot on the plane match-up and seems more acute when the enemy has a more maneuverable plane like they do when we face japanese types.

Captain Wild Bill Kelso: War nerves? Who said war nerves?

Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell, no!

_AH_DarkWolf

Nope, campaign is dark this week.
