The government loves paperwork and tracks
how many medals you’ve won, your ratio of kills
to the number of times you’ve died, the number
of enemies you’ve killed, and so on. To see this
information, click your name on the Pilot tab,
and then click the Stats tab.
The bombing, gunnery, and rocketry ratings
reect how accurate you are with your country’s
ordnance. The sole reason you’re in Europe is
to deliver this repower onto the enemy, got
it? If you can’t shoot straight, there’s real-
ly no point in getting in the cockpit in the
rst place.
Skill
Not everyone ies the same and that’s
true of the enemy. You can choose your enemy’s
skill level and their position relative to you
by clicking Skill on the Quick Combat tab.
Your enemies can be rookies, veterans, or
aces. Rookies perform, well, like you. Veterans
shoot straight and can make more extreme maneu-
vers with their planes. Aces are expert veteran
pilots and present the most serious threat.
For dogghts, ghter position determines
the enemy’s position relative to your own.
You have three options: disadvantaged, equal,
and advantaged. Select disadvantaged to start
behind the enemy, select equal to go head-to-
head, or select advantaged to start with a bogey
on your tail and ring at you. Good thing you
have high health and g-tolerance, right?
Fighter and Bomber
When you choose a new mission or quick
combat, you can select your objective, such
as bombing a bridge or strang a train. On the
Quick Combat tab, make this choice under Ground;
on the Missions tab, make it after clicking
Mission. See online Help for more information
about ground targets in Quick Combat.
