Campaign feedback

[bpremus]

Great campaign with a focus on details, excellent scripting, and voice acting. This one is close to my all-time favorite, Speed & Angels, and in a few places, it even exceeds expectations. Personally, it wasn't difficult for me, as I already had quite a lot of hours dogfighting in the F4, so I wasn't defeated throughout. However, if I had just started with the F4, it would probably have been quite challenging. The AI behaved well, crashing on only a few occasions, and I didn't encounter any issues with triggers.

Some spoilers ahead:

I was instantly hooked when the Air Force guy flipped me off. I know just a little about that rivalry, but at that moment, I felt like I came from a long line of Navy pilots. I waxed that guy, but I spent quite a lot of fuel and barely made it back to base. To be honest, I expected the campaign to track that and somehow punish me for it, but Navy honor was at stake... looking back at the campaign that was the hardest fight i had.

Overall, the campaign was great. The randomness was excellent; I often re-ran the scenarios and was constantly on the lookout for some wildcards. On the other hand, the scripting was also great, and that little emergency was a nice touch.
