Sweep and escort training mission difference

[Sieppo]

Is there any? I see both increasing the Air and Def skills..

Don't believe so. Neither is there a difference between Airfield, Port or Ground attack so far as training goes.

I believe strafing trains better at 100 ft with Sweep, but the two are otherwise identical.

Sweep @100 has def and str as main training result, air as secondary. At altitudes other than 100 the result is similar or identical to escort training (primary: air, secondary: def).

Since def skill is a critical skill for fighter pilots, sweep @100 definitely has a use.

Ok thanks!
