This campaign is loosely inspired in real events during the Salomons Island USMC campaign flying the F4U and some other historical events. Anyway, everything is fictional in the end, but a fun way to use the DCS F4U offline.
I learnt a lot about the Mission and Campaign Editors and the missions increase in their complexity. Do not be naive and think that mission 3 and 5 are the same, not even close and wait for surprises.
Finally, I though a 7(+1 on vs 1.2) mission campaign is enough, being 4 landing in a field and 4 landing in a Carrier.
vs 1.2 - Several triggers improved, Labels available and additional mission-18JUL25.
vs 1.1 - Typo Corrected and some triggers corrected-04JUL25.
vs 1.0 - Initial release-1JUL25.
The missions sequence is:
Mission 01 - Reccon
Mission 02 - Kagman Airfield Attack
Mission 03 - Marpi Airfield Attack
Mission 04 - Bombers Interception
Mission 05 - Marpi Airfield Attack and Landing on USS Bunker Hill
Mission 06 - Ship Convoy Attack (new on vs 1.2)
Mission 07 - Harbor Attack
Mission 08 - Yamamoto Interception
In no mission you will be sent back, if you fail, you just have to repeat the mission, but I was quite benevolent in the scoring system. ;-)
If you just want to fly the new mission on vs 1.2, fly Mission 06 - Ship Convoy Attack.
Remember to check the menu for F10 items and to command your flight using the DCS built in menu.

I am sure you will have a lot of fun.
Once we get more assets for WWII, I promise you I will revisit the campaign. :-)
All the best,
Sydy
PS: I swear I will freeze the campaign as 1.2 until some WWII Pacific assets come out.
