I can't wait until HiTech tweaks the AI a little bit to where they all don't jump from their planes at the first couple of pings :D I saved Yamamoto and Ukagi and landed with ammo to spare (at least nine kills). I really like the feel of this mission though. :salute

Yes there is but it only works while using it in the ME... as soon as you use the mission in the offline game it CTDs..
