I know that the target selection is limited to a radar facility, and its a long flight. But a bases's town could be the target as well, as well as multiple towns. The fun part about missions is how well its planned and executed. Being assigned "that" hanger, or that side of the city. Doing your part.
Getting there is 7/8 the fun. I like to meet in the tower, and assign guys to things to hit, and knowing they know their part of the plan. It just separates the same old grind in here, from what it could be. If a certain time of day to play a certain way became routine, it could become a great addition to gameplay.
Id love to see a Perk plane factory in each country. If you destroy it, a random type perk plane would be unavailable for 1 hour.
There is more to this game that running to a base on the deck and grabbing bases, its just us to our imaginations to improve it. You dont need to have a special event, to play that way.
