Yes, that was why I asked the question "wouldn't it be easier with Maxims?". I was asking people if they thought Maxims would improve one's chances in the mission, or the mission in general. But don't worry, your Fanboy-like knowledge of FS2 has dazzled us all, so it wasn't a complete washout

Shotgun? Why exactly a heavy fighter?
This is an english (well, American) expression which means that the guy in the fighter would be flying around providing cover for the actual mission-critical elements, in this case the bombers. I suggested the fighters be heavy due to the ammount of enemy fire in the mission - those feather-weight Serapis last about a minute.
But how couldn't it be discovered by the creators? A critical error.
Dude, you make a flawless game and then complain. And it's hardly critical to the game - did it really ruin your FS experience?
