aircraft entry and exit directions

[PatG]

I have found that the entry/exit arrows will usually not changed during a game as long as you don't save and reload. They will always reset to straight across the board if you exit the game. Just to be paranoid, I check them everytime before plotting a mission.

Following the advice in an earlier thread, I set my spotters to enter and exit on the top and bottom edges and to orbit over my side of the board near the centre line. I can usually get a good view of my opponents moving units. Especially in the later war when every tank and apc seems to have an aamg - flying over the enemy side is asking for a short quick flaming flight into the dirt. If I have to take a peek at my opponents rear area, I will plot to enter on his board edge and exit top or bottom. Sometimes the spotter won't complete it's full circuit before going off map but it minimizes exposure to flak.
