DCS Operation Epsom Campaign - Some Random Hints
As I mentioned in a previous post, this campaign is remarkable and sets the bar really high for other DLC content authors.

I am a bit surprised and disappointed about how little is written in the official forums these days. Ten years ago, virtual pilots used to discuss tactics, share experiences and fully illustrated debriefs. Maybe I am missing something. So I am posting here some observations and practices that are worth mentioning.

Hot resource! The "flak map" shows the areas where AAA fire is likely.
Pay attention to the briefing
Without any doubt, the briefings in this campaign are the best I've ever seen in any other flight simulation. The period maps are just fantastic. Many of the maps shown have been taken from real briefings. Go figure. Be a good virtual pilot and prepare properly for your encounter with the enemy.

An up-to-date flak map can be viewed in each mission as a kneeboard item.
After takeoff, wait for your flight

Having your flight in formation includes you. Don't take off and run away from your pilots. They need you and you need them.
After taking off, I usually hold around the airfield until all the members of my flight are in formation.
