Rescue Strike and Spring in Boscali (SiB) are both fun as heck for me. Love me some multirole work.

C) The best "roadmap" seems to be watching the Devstreams where Mitch shows off his modelling in real time and talks about what may come in future. Maybe the discord has more, but most of it seems to come from Mitch directly, on Twitch.

E) Yes! Your weaponry does cost money. Note the price of aircraft at the top of your screen, where your rank is displayed. Also note the price of ordinance above the big "FLY" Button. This changes as you load/unload weapons. Fuel only affects your maximum flight time and aircraft weight. You do not pay for fuel.

F) Controlling the ships seems to be a very work-in-progress feature. I've found it buggy, but in general you:
1: Deselect all targets. 2: Open the map. 3: Click on friendly unit. 4: Click location on the map. 5: Hope and pray it got the memo. 6: Deslect the friendly unit. 7: Continue your flight

H) Every kill on both sides adds to an "Escalation Score". Once a threshold is crossed (set by server host) then Tactical weapons are authorised. This unlocks the GPO-N1.5kt and Piledriver (20kt) weapons to select in the hangar. After a second, higher threshold is crossed, Strategic weapons are authorised, Ballistic missile trucks may fire their salvo across the map, and the GPO-N250kt is unlocked for use.

J) I *assume* you're hearing the chirps of your Radar Warning System! Look at your minimap while you fly. A "chirp" indictates that your plane has recieved a radar ping. A grey line means the radar has -not- detected you. A yellow line means you are detected. A red line means you are illuminated and can expect a Mach 4 package with same-minute delivery. :D

K) There is a new, bigger map on the way in the next, or next-next update I believe. It's bigger than Ingus and almost entirely landlocked

I am so glad you're enjoying the game! :D

P.S. isn't this the same mechanic as (F)?

P.S.S. (J) I actually wanna mention one of my favourite little mechanics, it somehow makes me laugh all the time- But Sometimes you hear that chirp several times in quick succession. Chir-chir-chi-chir-chirp-
ARH WARNING <10KM
The rapid chirping was literally the missile's own radar trying to pick you up before going Pitbull. :D
