TTI: Some questions about Through the Inferno MP

[Ahdidaas]

I don't want to muddy this discord w/ these n00b questions - I'll bullet point them..

Context: I like flying the A10CII, and will usually play whichever socal server has the most players - the radios are still mostly silent still - and if I see another A10 flying, I'll join that server.

1.  I'll go to a target location, the ground target status will tell me there's like 6-8 things for me to destroy, and I'll fly, fly, fly around, sometimes find someone hiding under a tree, yet sometimes I'll circle and circle -- or fly down super low for a better look -- and still not find anything.  My n00b question - is it supposed to be that hard?  I understand that the reaper circling high above can help me target (or maybe its the AWACS that's controlling it)?  Is that true?  How would I interact with them to find my targets?
2. I'll go to an easy ground strike target location, flying 40 min to get there, only for it to be completed by someone else, and then I wait for another easy mission to spawn, and then that's 30min to the new one (which may cause me to backtrack).  My n00b question - is there only one easy ground mission at a time?  Can I go out and find my own mission?  Or a different one even - for example I may spawn in Sochi yet have to fly south of Sokhumi for the mission - is it possible for me to go east and do something there?

Thanks in advance!

Well I usually play single player I believe you can spawn missions through the f10 menu. People taking all the targets before the A10s can get there is why a lot of people don't fly the A10 online.
