Well, flew in the MAW missions last night, and it was fun, though I was a bit lost at times
I carried troops around for about 30 minutes at 1 point and finally wound up bailing with no where to drop them. That happens, no biggie.
My problem was that at times i didn't quite know what was going on, and had to ask once where everyone went
So, I joined in that attack until we lost our VH and someone finally dropped a bomb on my head.
Then the last mission in the 38's which went well enough, but I lost an engine and landed before we took the base and went to bed.....makes a bit late of a night with the 9:00 PM local start.
All in all in was an enjoyable evening, dropped my rank some 400 places, mostly due to the osties I killed and a base capture before the MAW night. But even with the poor showing I gave with the MAW missions, it still dropped some more, so I can see the advantages of squad participation.
