Campaign Mission 1 - Anti ship Pressing 'F-7" at the debrief screen loads the last saved campaign position which the program has thoughtfully saved for me. On my second attempt I stay over 2,000 feet for the bomb release then immediately pull back into a vertical climb. Sure enough I survive the blast. I missed the ship too... but it was a near miss... I probably broke a few teacups. Inspired, I bank around for a strafing run. This is the life! Screaming in, I was at wave top level within seconds and laying down streams of lead before "hedge-hopping" or rather "mast-hopping",		At this altitude you only have to blink and...

The entire mission ran from 0630 to 0701 - 31 minutes, a good length. Considering time to target (30 miles) was only 5 minutes, that left 20 minutes of strafing. Those ships take a pounding! I was amazed to see not just one, but 2, 3, 4 and 5 fires buring on some vessels before they sank. Even the sinkng was a spectacle with some ships wallowing slowly and others tipping quickly to dive nose first. Check out more sinking ships here.
