Career suggestions

[josephine]

So, I gave the new career a try and it brings back fond memories from Rise of Flight.

 

I started my career on the russian side  in 233 squadron (Moscow theather, phase Typhoon).

 

1. The squadron is equipped both with Mig-3 and I-16. On the very first generated mission were mixed flight of both plane types (2 Mig-3s, 1 I-16). Due to different speeds of these planes I can not imagine completing the mission together.
   - Would it be possible to ensure one flight always consists of the planes of the same type?
   - Would it be possible to have an option sticking to your preferred aircraft in these mixed squadrons? This is what I hated already in ROF - each mission would put me into different plane type with completely different handling characteristics
2. I did not expect to spawn with engine running and as I had my throttle cracked open an inch or two, I rammed into the plane in front of me damaging my propeler, halting the engine.
3. Immediately after this first mission where I did not even take off I was awarded with Flyer's badge. I know, I like the promotions, extra money, etc., but this seemed too much :-)
4. Looking at the career options, I can see difficulties Easy, Medium, Hard, but I did not find any explanation what each option means.
   - Does it bring more enemies? Deadlier? Does it remove navigation marks? Does it let you fly in foul/night weather? Does it generate longer missions?

This "issue" has been a mainstay of Il-2 for a long, long time. Just set throttle to idle before entering a session. The new Campaign does remind me of the old RoF, but planes still take off hot from the runway. I think there's no work on the AI regarding the ability to taxi from the apron, engine start and all that.
