Why not, Campaign refly?

[ChaChaa]

Hi, 

 

I love this game as you do but I have a little complain.

 

In the campaign, there is no [refly] when fail.

 

 

 

Last night I met snowing mission in the campaign. Sometimes evening or night in the campaign but snowing is for the first time to me.

 

But there were heavy cloud and I couldn't see anything then I crashed.

 

I wanted same mission but I couldn't meet same mission.

 

Although I choose the same mission in the same place, other conditions(time, weather...etc) change randomly.

 

 

 

I remember original IL-2 1946 has a [refly] in the campaign.

 

Why not, refly in the IL-2 Bos?

 

 

 

Sorry for my english. English is not native language.

The question should be: Why refly?

 

There is no virtual life of the pilot to save and no impact of the mission results on the campaign other than simply advancing it a step further towards the end. A failed mission that yields no XP has absolutely zero impact on the campaign and might just as well not have happened at all, except for the fact that your failures are counted in your stats.

[Yakdriver]

because in 1946 you had a LIST of missions you need to fly - static campaign.
so if you do mission 1,2,3,4,and you are killed on 5, you need to redo 5 if you want to go to 6,7,8,9,...
In this, the campaign system is different. to progress, you need XP or a number of missions successfully to get to the next chapter.

WHAT mission or what plane you do... is not important.

[vonPilsner]

I would also like the ability to re-fly a failed mission in campaign mode.

[Yakdriver]

i mean, it's not like the missions are extreemly different, one from another.
a refly is almost unnecessary if you ask me.
Same stuff...

[Finkeren]

Again, I fail to understand why? What opportunities does a refly option give you, that you don't already have?

[vonPilsner]

Ahh, sometimes it's exactly the mission you want.

The sun is in the correct place or setting (not flying directly into it)

the cloud cover is exactly how you like it

the weather is exactly how you like it

The planes you encounter make it challenging

and an AI gunner ruins it for you.

 

It is a sim, but also a game. If I randomly get a wonderful mission and something tragic happens it would be nice to have a refly option.

 

Since the missions appear to be saved in a sub-folder temporarily it seams trivial to implement.

I'd like the ability to save a mission as a single mission, to be reflown or edited later.

Yeah this would be a pretty cool thing.

I agree. Might make it easier for people learning the FMB when it arrives to see how the bits fit together.

I understand the different system between 1946 and BOS. Thanks all and hope to meet in the sky!

Rise of Flight has a refly option in the Career Mode.

[[7e]Forza42]

why REFLY?

maybe because it s just a game .... as realistic or arcade it can be... it s just a game.

What do you want to do in a ''flight sim'' ? it s flying .... 

[Finkeren]

Rise of Flight has a refly option in the Career Mode.

 

But there it makes sense, because there's actually a pilot and squadmates' lives to preserve and progress to be made. In BoS all you could achieve by having a refly option is preserve the specific parameters of one autogenerated mission, which varies little from other missions in the same category.

Right. Because the other choice besides Refly is sometimes that you're dead ;-)

Let me get this straight: I'm not against a refly option, I have used it myself in RoF and IL-2 1946 (in RoF I had a personal rule, where I granted each of my pilots 3 "lives" meaning that the third time one ended up dead, he'd stay dead)

 

I'm just genuinely puzzled why people would want such a feature in BoS, where the consequence of dying/failing a mission is litterally nothing? 

[HeavyCavalrySgt]

The question should be: Why refly?

 

 

 

That was my question too, but it sounds like the OP wanted the challenge of flying in the same conditions again.  I can see that: taking off into IMC in these airplanes is not trivial!

agree. The main reason (for me) is when you have fly a fun mission but failed, you can try it many times until it s a success.

Save that mission that appear temporarily and replace it with the next one that appear temporarily. Refly again how much you like.

The consequence is you won't be flying under the same conditions, most likely.  Screw up the takeoff roll on your favorite mission type (clear at dusk, say) and when you re-fly, it may be your least favorite type (high noon overcast).

 

I'd surely like the option to refly the exact same mission.
