Career Glitch when wounded....maybe

[Rommel1717]

Not sure where to post this topic so just thought I would put it in here..this is really meant for the IL2 development boys to hopefully fix..... 

 

I will start by saying I love the new career mode I find it makes for way more immersion into the game and so far I think the missions are really well done with lots of mission variety, targets and more of a cooperation feel with your unit mates and other friendly squadrons.

 

However while flying in career mode, in this example I am flying as a German fighter pilot, we started the day with 3 sorties to perform, my pilot was flying in the 2nd and 3rd sorties.

 

The first morning sortie my pilot was not flying so that mission proceeded normally.

 

My pilot flew in the second sortie and while flying in that mission I was shot down, my plane caught fire but I managed to bail out over friendly territory and I noticed that my pilot was wounded but not captured. 

 

I hit the finish button for that sortie and it took me back to the unit screen which is were I expected it to tell me I was wounded and was unable to take part in anymore missions....It did not and I think according to the mission brief I was up an hour later flying the 3rd mission.

 

I flew the 3rd mission landed hit the finish button and proceeded to the next day and found my flight or unit was suspended from flying for 3 days due to lack of aircraft and had to wait for delivery of new aircraft for the unit. This is accurate as I was the only one to return from the 3rd and final sortie of the day with only 1 aircraft available to fly for the unit. (I like this feature I find it accurate, makes you look out for your unit mates more while in combat to make sure you have enough planes to fly in the proceeding days of your career.) 

 

My beef here is that it really didn't tell me or explain what my injuries were and how long I was going to be out and I definitely shouldn't have been able to fly that 3rd and final sortie. I am curious to have seen what it would have said if we were not out of aircraft for the unit. If I receive injuries in combat it should let me know what they were and how long I should expect to be out with those injuries. If they were minor and I am able to fly in proceeding sorties it should let me know that but I doubt I would receive an official German wound badge if it was a minor injury that would allow me to fly without missing a beat. 

 

Just thought I would pass this on as so far in the limited amount of career flights I have had this is the only inaccurate part of the career mode I have noticed. Hopefully the Dev team can add this fix to any future updates....

 

Cheers and loving the new update, keep up the great work!
