?Also playable in allied or enemy ground vehicles.
All humans choosing fixed-wing AC will start with engines running, on tarmac, on a "busy" airbase. Recommend letting the AI AC and helo's taxi and takeoff. Then follow. There are bad guys appraching from a few different dirrections, should be enough ground targets for a few / several humans.
There will be enemy aircraft to contend with (Hinds, Floggers, Frogfoot); but not too heavy, you can actually do "ok" flying the Ka-50 or P-51, the AI will generally keep the bandits occupied.... if you fly F-15C's, you should be able to pass the AI F-16's and Tornados on ingress, and clear the skies yourself.
Ka-50's will takeoff from a FARP closer to the battlefield.
There is an German AI A-10C that will takeoff and fly JTAC, but you need to wait for him to arrive "on scene" before requesting targets for your A-10's. He will mark with willie-pete.
