I suggest getting the NATO Fighters mod. It covers the entire period from the 1950s to the 1980s. Here's my interpretations of the campaigns
1953- Korean War style dogfights (F-86)
1956- Supersonic era (F-100)
1962- Early missile age (Mirage III)
1968- Early BVR and LGB age (F-4)
1979- Modern air combat (F-15, F-16)
1986- Ultimate showdown (Mig-29, Su-27)
In my book, if you are looking for AG missions that have TV guided missiles and Laser Guided Bombs, I suggest playing the 1979 campaign. It refines the weapons of 1968 and you have an F-16 that can roflstomp anything that flies at the time.
If you want a bigger challenge, you can also do the 1986 campaign. Same weapons but deadlier opponents.
