Yes I know. And many pilots were probably happy that way when real air battles had the risk of dying. But when you fly a sim for fun (at least I do), these nothing-happens sorties are not my favorites.

If you compare these game missions to books written by combat pilots, what kind of days do they describe in their book: those when something happened or those routine days when no enemy was encountered or the weather was so bad that they couldn't fly at all etc?

I hear ya mate. Could you imagine ATAG with no combat?
