The old mission planner was superior to what we have now. It allowed for stagered departure times , different routes and altitudes for each flight and allowed launching elements of the strike from different fields. It would have been nice if it also allowed you to name the waypoints. The current mission planner I'm afraid is the result of HT continuing to dumb down the game. The original mission planner went the same way as the original calibration of the bomb sight and night operations.
