Replays straight after mission finish, from debriefing menu

[89-]

Every single game that features replays - has replay available for viewing IMMEDIATELY after you finish the mission/race. Be it racing game like Gran Tourismo, Asseto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Grand Prix Legends, all Formula1 games, Live for Speed, rFactor(2) or flight sims- IL2:1946, IL2:CloD, DCS, WT, OverG Fighters, AceCombat(! haha)...

Replay is ALWAYS saved automatically into a temporary backend file which is discarded if user does not view/rename it after the mission. I really do not get why ROF and now IL2: Great Battles went against the grain of all of the collected wisdom above.

 

The actual replays are awesome in IL2, but their interface is really off-putting. For one, I often forget to press R and miss out on reviewing and re-living some exciting missions. Secondly, having a constantly growing heap of replays (from pressing R in the beginning of most missions) is also a pain - finding the needed replay, deleting the junk... What a chore  :

 

 

Guys, please, don't take my word for it, just accept the common common wisdom and let us have replays autosave into temp file for viewing STRAIGHT after the mission. Simply add the "view replay" button to the mission debriefing screen. If file size is an issue and people want to start recording at some specific point on their missions, let them have their "press R to record".
