Cont. Issue is also starting the maps around sunrise or close to sunset, have olive targets on a dark background and enjoy trying to see them. These are day fighters, for the most part, and gun-CAS airacraft, you need a certain amount of visibility.
So that either means operations when there is enough light, or flare bombs. (The latter of which we don't have.)

To describe this battle, first spawned as Me-410 with th 50mm to fly CAS, thanks to the Ruhr map again being near sunrise, I can't see shit, can't see my targets and get only one M8.

Then I get killed by an enemy, who snuck behind the CAP.
Second flight rinse and repeat.
Third flight, I spawn my G-10, cap one zone, get a kill, against a Corsair (a contemporary), get nailed by an exceptionally good P-63C Pilot on the way home.
The problem here is that it costs 11k to spawn a 109 in Sim, and not even Capping a zone and getting a kill is enough to offset that.
You either need to get back after that, and land to lock that in, or if you get killed go basically into debt. Which makes you very risk averse and not good to the team.
