There's a bug on that mission, I think:

I Just finished playing the game in Sim mode again and got the same two different scenarios you describe: either nothing happens or three drop point to check appear.

1.- Engage the bandits.
2.- If you do choose to help the tank: take out the three vehicles designated as targets.
3.- Rendevouz and Escort the C47s.
4.- ALWAYS STAY CLOSE TO THEM!
5.- Look for the three drops and destroy the trucks.
6.- Enjoy.

Thank you very much for your help. These were the things I was doing, but it never seemed to work. Last night, however, I tried the mission again, doing the same things, and everything seemed to work perfectly and I finally passed the mission!

Now I am stuck on the next-to-last mission in Berlin (can't remember the name.) I think I'll get through it alright, though. My biggest problem is that my gunnery is so bad, that I have real trouble shooting down fighters. If I could figure out a way to make my aiming reticle less twitchy, I would be golden. I have a hard time hitting fighters when I'm on their six and they are flying in a straight line!

Yeah, it's one of THOSE missions. But I made it through, because my wingmen saved the day again. My shooting skills are horrible. The wingmen are useless against ground targets, which thankfully I'm not too bad at. However, they are excellent against enemy planes.

I simply can't hold the reticle steady enough to hit my target. I understand leading and deflection, usually put my shots in the right place, but while trying to do so, I'm just twitching around all over the place. I guess I just need practice...

did you turn your sensitivity down? it really worked for me. and use rudder to bring your nose over the target or sweep back and forth...

I set my elevator sensitivity at the highest point it can be without stalling, and leave my aileron sensitivity on full, for maximum roll. With much practice in training, I'm getting a little better at hitting my target, although my wingmen are still much better at it than I am. Those guys are pros!
