Possible endings of non-Iron Man career?

[Tapi]

For the first time I have tried to fly non-Iron Man career only to find out that if I ditch my plane in the enemy territory, my career ends as well (prisonner). No mention if I am shot down -  my pilot dies and career ends... What is the difference between Iron Man mod and non-Iron Man career mod?  I thought that non-Iron Man simulates that pilot returns back to his unit even after he was shot down over enemy territory?

Thx for answer.

Non-Iron Man careers gives you the possibility of replaying a mission if your pilot ends up dead or captured, in Iron Man mode what happens in the mission is final and can't be changed or replayed.

 

Non-Iron Man mode can still ends up with your pilot dead or captured, but in this case if you don't want to loose the character you just restart the mission.

Difference is that in the non-ironman mode you can press refly button

OK, thx for the explanation.

I have a suggestion thread for a tweak that alerts the player when they click on "Finish' that that action will end their career if they are captured or dead, as there are some times at the end of missions where it is not made clear.

Yeah, a warning pop up window in case the pilot was MIA or KIA would be very helpful.

It seems simple to set up, so I'm hoping the devs see the suggestion and make the tweak.

It`s really not that complicated. Non-Ironman is what you get as default in ALL games. It`s, like the other guy said, it`s a Replay or Reload mission button.

The issue is when the mission ending screen doesn't tell you if you were captured or killed, or doesn't warn you that finishing the mission after dying/getting captured will end the campaign permanently. The first issue has happened to me twice, the second situation has happened once because I thought I would have another screen to decide whether to do the mission. Most of the time if I am captured the screen shows me as captured, but every once in a while it doesn't.

Is there anything official from the Devs, like a guide on how the Career system works? If not I may put something together and post it. Its a wonderful system and I love it, but it has a few things that need clarification or fixes IMO.
