Hey hey, were not ignoring you. We've been playing RC5 for last couple days, very successfully. I'll change to 1.2 today and try couple things as well.
Now that client is stable, we should think about changing the default loadouts. Literally 90% of em are terrible, also maybe a way for the game to discern whether F/A-18C are CAP or CAS. I understand that you can change those manually most of the time in the editor, but we should strive for the missions to be complete on generation.
