[The_Ant]

Is the german career bugged,im having 60 kills,2 promotians.And only have frontflying wings, iron cross 2nd class and a honour goblet?when reciving the goblet it says it was isued between ironcross in gold and Knights cross,my brother has the same problem and he has around 40 kills.

[Ribbon]

I completed first mission in A20 career, destroyed the bridge and shot down 2 hs129 and one 109g2 and already looking like this \/

I guess Soviets know motivate ppl better

 

[The_Ant]

yes they do.have flown a p39 career with 3 kills in first mission.got rubels and 2 medals after that one

 

[Finkeren]

Yeah, I'm 11 missions into my MiG career with 20 kills and I have 2 x medal of courage, 2 x order of the red star, 1 x air combat medal (or whatever) it's called and a ****load of citations and monetary awards.

Man I should really defect then. I did one ace in a day, for a total of 10 kills in my first 3 days serving in the eastern front, and all I got was a pat in the back and a downgrade from an F4 to an F2 for my next mission.

Maybe it depends on the difficulty? I know in the actual war it wasn't very common for pilots to shoot down 15 planes singlehandedly in one mission.

im flying on expert setting.And have 60 kills over 25 missions,so thats leave an average off 2,25 kill a mission.some missions i got 5kills others 1,not very unrealistic.

I got money for transport plane kills when i shot down 3 Ju-88's with my P-40.

[Danziger]

I think some of those Soviet awards just come with completing your first combat mission. Like in the army we have the Combat Infantryman Badge and the Combat Action Badge. As soon as someone shoots at you you've met the criteria.

Actually few more missions and with all those money bonuses i'm thinking move to Moscow and settle down.

I believe the Germans really upped the requirements for medals during the war in the east didn't they?   Pilots were getting so many kills that it made getting a medal pointless, so they kept raising the standards to achieve those medals in an attempt to continue to give them meaning.

[56RAF_Roblex]

My very first career mission was in an A20 and all I did was drop my bombs when the leader told me to and hit 5 vehicles and a gun that I never even saw. When I got home I was given a Medal For Courage (Performance of military duties in circumstances involving a risk to life), a Medal For Battle Merit (combat action that resulted in military success), a Red Star (I think everyone got at least one of those) and an Aviation Emblem  (err.  Flying a combat mission?)   

In my fighters pilots first mission he shot down a 109 and only got the Medal For Battle Merit so they obviously don't think dogfighting a 109-G4 with a shitty P-39  involves any 'risk to life' :-)  He had to get another kill to get the  Medal For Courage (though he did get 1000 Roubles for each kill)   No Red Star though so maybe they are not just given out to everyone.

[Danziger]

Yeah my latest Vorobyov isn't getting medals as much as the first few. Actually on one mission I was really proud of bagging 2 F2s and an F4. Only to get back and see I was only credited for two planes. I guess the political officer wanted his cut...

[FL_Valkyrie]

With now 83 kills in my Kuban career as a german pilot, the only awards i got is the Iron cross 2nd class, the Pilots Badge and the Honor Goblet. Seems pretty off to me that a german ace thats already on the Newspaper doesnt even have a Iron cross first class

If the career is based on RoF, you can expect the medals to have specific requirements, usually in number of missions flown. Here's a list of medals from that game:

https://riseofflight.com/forum/topic/44749-how-earn-awards-cover-yourself-glory-career-mode/

 

I agree that once the required numbers of kills has been obtained, any further kills should reduce the required number of missions as well.

[FL_Valkyrie]

Well doesnt that just straight up suck... Means i probably will be the ace of the aces before i even get a Knights Cross ! 

 

[US63_SpadLivesMatter]

Must be calibrated to account for player vs AI kill totals.  ?  What was the rule for totalling your kills in RoF career again?  Kills divided by 100 equals "actual" kills?

Hi I think I found at least one bug with regards to promotions in the german campaign.

 

Started as Oberfeldwebel (lowest rank) in the Moscow campaign and after 18 mission and 41 kills received the following promotions:

 

1.) Pilot Badge
2.) Iron Cross 2nd Class
3.) Promotion Leutnant
4.) Honor Goblet
5.) Promotion Oberleutnant

 

The odd thing is that I did not receive the Iron Cross first class so far. However the honor goblet (so the in game description tells) is given to soldiers for exceptional performance in air combat who have already received the Iron Cross 1st Class but have not yet met the criteria for the german cross or the knights cross.

 

So it seems there is something wrong with the trigger for the iron cross 1st class

[Senilix67]

Requirements in eastern front for each decoration:

 

Award	Kills
Iron Cross 2nd Cl.	2-3
Iron Cross 1st Cl.	8
German Cross in Gold	30
Knight's Cross	45-50
Oak Leaves to the Knight's Cross	100-120
Swords to the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves	200
Diamonds to the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords	250

 

Requirements were higher on eastern front compared to western front.

Definitely something wrong in German career, i have 40 kills/expert settings and only got wings and iron cross 2nd class so far + 2 promotions

[FL_Valkyrie]

I suppose someone should file a bug report, i suspect some triggers arent working correctly 

[56RAF_Roblex]

Good to see the Axis pilots role playing authentic LW attitudes. 'F*ck the war! I need more medals!' 

[Mike_Seubert]

yea, german career is a bit strange ,

 

starting 14.01.43 as Stuka  in pitomnik as Oberfeldwebel,

loosing stalingrad, extend career,joined Kg55 in Kuban,  switched to KG51 after a while, 

got after switching to another Staffel all medals again after first "new" flight,

I've made a report about it.

[FL_Valkyrie]

Little update on my part, with now 103 kills i got awarded the knights cross of the iron cross , however i did not even receive the german cross in gold (im guessing its trigger doesnt function as well) 

[csThor]

*cough* There is no such thing as "Iron Cross in Gold". There was a "German Cross in Gold" (jokingly called "Fried Egg" or "Super-Heavy self-propelled swastika"). Do  you mean that one?

[Feathered_IV]

I started a Kuban Ju-52 career, but no matter how many days pass - I do not get selected to fly one of the missions.,

It’s the game punishing you for choosing to fly a ju-52

[migmadmarine]

In my Stalingrad Ju-52 career, I was with the squadron a full week before being sent on a flight. Now it's the day before the third stage of the battle and I've only been assigned my third flight. Curious to see if the number of flights per day goes up when things get more critical during winter.

Experince the same as Sevenless. My Moscow camp seems like a bluecopy of Sevenless. Have 22 mission and 43 kills, and similar rank and medals. I demand the EKI or I will defect to the enemy

Come over to the red side. We have Yaks...

LOL!

[Tyberan]

My first mission with the HS129 and I took out 7 artillary positions and 1 yak 7. Admittedly he was loosing coolant but he shouldn't have flown in front of me with my full ammo of 20mm. For this I got a pilot badge. Second mission I shot down 2x A-20's as our target was an armoured column near an airfield, the A-20's were returning to base, also got 2 armoured cars and 1 T34. Nothing for this, need to try harder next mission.

 

Compared to my IL2 career in which I took out 6 ground targets got like 4 medals for it.

 

Only complaint with the career is that time acceleration could be faster, max is X2 even though X4 and 8 will display. Still this Career mode is light years ahead of what it started with in BoS.

That is entirely dependent on your system and how much it can handle.

 

With my ancient rig I can’t even get X2 on some of the more crowded missions. When I switch on time acceleration, it just continues at pretty much the same pace as without acceleration.

I have been wounded twice, for bailing out, but haven't received the Wound Badge

On the more crowded missions I have about 1/2 acceleration

time compression is currently bugged, it wont go more than 2x even though it will display up to 8x

Nope, its bugged. It used to work before 3.001, but now if I go to 4x or 8x the speed is the same as 2x, and I'm not the only one having this exact same problem.

Just to add, since I am not sure this has been tracked by the devs. I´m now with one campaign at 102 kills (Sqd Leader and Rank Major) and got the knight´s cross. However Iron Cross 1st Class, German Cross and German Cross in Gold I didn´t receive. Seems to me as if the triggers for these medals don´t work. 

[Feathered_IV]

 

Carnage in the Kuban.  My flight and their escorts slam the throttle wide open as soon as the mission begins, and pile into each other like a noob in their first co-op.
