I managed to knock out the heavy fighter missions in about 2 hours the first night
4 easy supply chests. Unfortunately every time i tried to open one the UI crashed.
Running in safe mode circumvented the issue. but having to restart the game each time means i have no idea what was in the chests.
(no op orders. i checked that first)
Today i have been Flighted up with GAA/MR combo.
which worked out ok when i was GAA. we muck about and eventually each get 5 wins in our category.
Farming broken target sections was also fairly simple. A bit grindy but not so bad.
It is easy to take out 30-50 sections at a time with a zero in over-watch throughout the game..
Yet; no matter how well i seemed to do, i just could not do better than a grade 3 game...
So it was time for a break and we switched roles.
My flight mate saw what a specialized Stuka can do (especially with HEAP ammo) so gave that a go and i was over watch in a Wildcat.
A Stuka and a Wildcat flip caps quick. But dont necessarily do so well up-tiered.
So switching out has made things more troublesome.
just getting the last two wins has been wearing my patience (two hour of play just to get the last two wins.).
But they finally happened (after a stretch of Fw 190 and Typhoon) and now im grinding out Fighter/MR kills and getting ever closer to unlocking a Corsair in the process.
Just gotta pay attention to what im doing when the get those grade 4 and 3 badges so i can gun for that grade one.
All in all, a fair bit of fun. I get 8 supply chests out of the deal. And managed to grind out some planes i had been meaning to "get around to"
Next week: Bomber Escort!

Fair warning. My success rate at speculative guesswork is on par with my WinRate. Hit or Miss.
I start on the right track and then sometimes make a weird left turn and get lost in the weeds ...
