Oskar I would love some missions! Especially nightfighter missions. I've been enjoying the nightfighter SP custom mission. Got 3 in a row with radar and made it back. No clouds makes it more challenging, and for some reason make the awful searchlights look better. It's tricky too as the bombers start to jink when you get in visual range.
Beaufighter startup: 2 minutes for me just closing the rads, but I've been getting away with it on the nightfighter, which might be modeled different.
I do like the fact that the antennas do not produce drag.
As for warmups, I've worked with both radials and inline (maybe ten different engines), and we always wait for the green. When it's cooler outside it takes forever. You could get away with running them hard, but I always see the engines in-game as cold and worn out with crappy fuel. I've seen a lot of airshow pilots run their engines very poorly as well, but there are so many variables to the real thing that I can go with whatever the devs decide. It's all good.
My Beaufighter max settings are:
110% throttle
100% prop
34% rads continuous on the deck (no less)
12% fuel = 20 minutes + reserve
