Forgive me if I have missed other threads, but are we expecting more regular Fortress Europe missions now that this is the "Final Test"?

It will be mostly a once a month mission, with the exception of some scenario type events centered around major campaigns, like Blitz Week (This July) and Big Week that will be played every week.
I do have other missions being readied, these won't be 8th Air Force Missions. Other missions will moslty be Luftwaffe or RAF missions.

Is there dar bar?
Yes.
There will be limited perk aircraft for the Luftwaffe. For the sake of suspense, I will contact the Luftwaffe pilots during the event.

This has all the components to be a great event.
