I would also recommend this campaign. The AI has it's issues but I still loved the Maple Flag campaigns (F5 and F18) because there is a lot more to practice in the missions than just the engagement with AI. I'm new/terrible BFM fighter so even AI is helpful to me which might not be the same for everyone. I just worked on improving what I do in the engagements. I also used the campaigns to improve navigation (Had to learn a lot in F5 especially re nav), situational awareness, communications, fuel management etc. so for me they were great. I liked the ambiance Maple Flag created and the briefings and procedural information were nice for me as well. Was good fun.
