Funked, I don't really fly AH all that often now, so maybe I'm just missing it. But I've seen a grand total of maybe 4 planned missions executed by either side in the past couple of months, 2 by Zigrat of rooks. Mostly it's solo efforts and furballs.
Then again, your point about WB is taken. I don't know when you were playing, but it was an up and down thing in WB. My squad was very consistant, and every Saturday night it was typical for you to see one of the Bad Guys (anyone but a purp) main fields suddenly fall to a combined B-17/P51 strike, then a romp through several more nearby fields. We were hardly the only ones to do it, and I saw something like it maybe 4-5 times a week (unfortunately, more often done to us).
So I'll stick by my assessment of AH so far, but with the caviat that I'm not playing more than about 3 times a week and may be missing the squad nights or whatever.
I'll start trying to generate interest in with the mission editor. I tend to be semi-reclusive (communicating in monosylabic grunts), so I haven't done this yet, but I'll give it a whirl.
In anycase I've never yet seen someone use the mission editor to plan a ground assault supported by CAS. Again, maybe it's happened and I've missed it.
