How to get a specific mission?

[MrWhite136]

Scenario1:

A naval convoy is on it's way with more and better airplanes and tanks to the enemy's homebase. If/when these reinforcements reach the frontline, the current tactical situation will change completely.

 

Scenario 2:

There is a big tank battle. A few well placed bombs/strafing runs could have a significant impact.

 

Staging the convoy and the tank battle should be possible with the timetable. However, how can I ensure that I get a chance to attack the convoy if I play a bomber pilot. And how can I get to see the tank battle up close if I fly a reconnaissance plane or a dive bomber/fighter-bomber?
