When I read the intro for the F-15C, I was pleasantly surprised at how they made it quite personal and like a pilot journal entry. But reading the A-10C one, which is almost word for word a copy, has taken that totally down. It's rather sad.

I have no idea about the missions themselves and I imagine they will be different. But the intro and mission one blurb should have been individualistic to the airframe, pilot and tour.

:(

Now that I've had some time to sit down with these Red Flag campaigns I wanted to comment on the above.
You should imagine that it's the same Red Flag for both pilots (F-15 and A-10), so it makes sense that -the first two missions being a theatre of operations introduction- the briefings are quite (if not completely) similar to eachother.
The sorties will be the same regardless of aircraft being flown. The first two missions are solely there to establish a way to let the player get familiar with the territory and the landmarks being of importance to what will follow.

From mission 3 onwards, you will actually fly the combat sorties and the actual Red Flag excercise. The missions are then tailored to aircraft flown and are vastly different from eachother in terms of tasking. Still the overal plan is the same in both campaigns, as again, it's the same excercise.
"Pilots do not get paid for what they do daily, but they get paid for what they are capable of doing.
However, if pilots would need to do daily what they are capable of doing, nobody would dare to fly anymore."
