Speaking of heavy aircraft in combat environment and short sighting in terms of potential scenarios:
Whether you are a cargo pilot or a bomber pilot you are doing it for the experience of carrying out the tasks such as dealing with payloads, routes, runway lengths, any possible threats etc, similar to what a fighter pilot would prepare for.
In a scenario where a fighter pilot relies on information, team work, or a mission designer, how is this process different for a heavy wing pilot?
The map is too small? Well, some may already know that when you substitute 30% of fuel for a cargo and find yourself in a holding pattern at low altitude the fuel burn can be pretty quick.
Does an opinion make a difference for an intercontinental bomber? Guess:
It can do missions thousands of miles away but it can’t do it if it’s 0.1 of the distance (sarcasm).
If you a fighter pilot or trainee who chooses to escort AI rather than Pilots, the artificial reword is yours.
