Why on earth anyone would need to spy to figure out that the mission's going to be NOE, with about 3 types of planes, including goons, all of which are fully loaded with bombs regardless of fuel capacity, is beyond me.
I have to wonder... If you guys like the "strategy" of this game so much, why don't you ever use it?
(I realize this is a very wide brush, but, let's be honest... I'm not painting that innacurate a picture of the majority of missions we've all seen over the years).
