Gun run was great even though I managed to get shot down.
Well since you hotstarted there wasn't even time to get to a friring position from the closest canyon(from the IP waypoint that is), while we had to wait 5 minutes to finish the start up and then insert 60 (?) miles (that is flying the direc way over open terrain). flying high to get sight on the targets was not an option as cover from your radar was already limited and the only time i got sight on the tanks I was 9 miles out and immedeatly got pinged by your radar so i just fired on the first thing the mavericks would lock on to (wich never is what the targeting pod is locked on to apparently... well probably also because I was flying low).
for some reason even sneaking in directly under neath you didn't really work, and as I suck at spotting planes in the air in this game (maybe because of the small screen and lack of headtracking) going for you was not even an option when i knew you were close.
camp november was nice, even though it was next to impossible to find the vehicles.
manuels mission was also great, luckily we werent limited to land via Instuments ^^. I still dont know how i managed to fly in that fast and then brake hard enough to not crash into Sithis. the labels made it a bit easy to spot the infantry, but without targeting pod thit would probably have been quite leghty otherwise.
bactria has always been a long aproach, but this one felt like we were redeploying to another country, I wonder how much time over the target area we would have had anyways without additional fuel tanks.

How was that mission for the A-10 drivers? I noticed not too many ground units were killed even when I was shot down. Were they too hard to find or were you just hiding to far away?
