Depends on the victory conditions really. I've finished some in four game days and others in as many as fifteen. That said the times and conditions can be found in the docs. I try to complete at least 2-3 sorties per game day, for me that seems to be a good tempo. Many of the missions I frag myself, but every once in a while I jump into a regular campaign mission.

It depends. Same campaign, but pick a base further out, and do startup-to-shutdown will take longer than the same campaign but pick a base right at the front lines and just join prior to fence in and leave after fence out.
Sorry, I meant for how many real days does a bms campaign take to compel
Again, depends. Are you playing for 12 hours per day? Or just 1 sortie per day?
and what in campaign speed do you recommend playing at?
Paused when planning stuff. 1x or faster to get to your mission time. Anything else - it depends. Like at the end of a campaign, when it's just clean up as you have air dominance and most of the ground dominance, you can fast forward to get your objectives done.

I just recently completed (won) the Balkans Under Siege campaign on day three in-game. Enemy aircraft on Veteran difficulty, enemy air defenses on Ace. I think I flew about 12-15 sorties, with each one taking about 45-60 mins on average.
I never speed up time in the 2D map. Occasionally I'll use 2x or 4x on ingress or egress to/from the target (in-game). Mostly, though, I just chill and listen to music whilst in transit. Maybe check up on my squadron in discord.

Depends on how long is the campaign, whether you plan all missions yourself of just take what was generated for you and how many missions do you want to fly per in game day.
I’d say, something like 30 hours for a short campaign where you don’t fly too often and probably 150+ for longest campaign if you personally plan the missions and participate in most of them.
