This is excellent stuff!

I would recommend this DLC to anybody who has already played A10c a while. The campaign starts off relatively easy but gets harder towards the middle and end (especially the last one). This DLC is incredibly well made with nice audio radio chatter, detailed briefings and nicely written briefings. However, virtually all missions don't play out as planned, something sudden always happens and you will recieve new orders through voice, but it never gets frustrated because it's always clear what you should do / engage (if you pay attention).

However, to avoid frustration, this is what you need to know before starting this campaign
- Aircraft startup (cold startup on all 21 missions except one)
- Radio setup (you need to communicate with all three radios, FM, AM and UHF) and change channels mid flight
- Entering JTAC coordinates (both as UTM 9-line as well as sometimes as bullseye coords), targets are often outside given waypoints
- A few times locations are given as village names, so study the target area before takeoff
- You will use mavericks, laser guided, JDAM, rockets and also air-to-air weapons, pretty much every weapon type
- There is also a lot of searching using the TGP (downed pilots, convoys etc.)

Overall a great experience for a great simulator which has been seriously lacking story content. In my opinion, a good story (like this one) is what makes this a game as opposed to just a simulation. Thumbs up. Now I'm going to buy Piercing Fury :)
