Career mode pecularities

[egyadelzakhary]

First off I am enjoying this game alot. Thank you Devs!

 

I have been doing career since appointed, started off as Feldwebel I now have an almost half green bar under my name. I got promoted to Oberleutnant and even got a base commander role. Somehow I lost this role. I guess one of two things, I got wounded, stayed in bed for a few days so the game said he's a cripple lets dupe him and the Staffel somehow planted a fresh commander to fill my shoes, 

 

OR

 

I somehow shot and killed friendlies.

 

1- which is more possible to only lose command of a base and its associated perks?

2- is it reversible? Like killing more enemies can reinstate me?

3- Where do I view the number and types of friendlies killed during whole career?

 

Also,

 

I want to ask if assigned altitudes for roles like intercept enemy bombers who spawn randomly and penetrate the defence line,

4- are these the altitudes they are also reported or my patrol altitudes, and to spot them, I need to be lower? 

 

Sometimes, when I am flying very high above say 8000m in a 109/G4, I hear a hissing noise from the engine block.

5- Is that the coolant or it is the cylinders?

 

 

During the career I noticed squadrons of different planes no longer present on the map. Stuka squadrons. Henschel squadrons too. 

6- Does this mean I cant play with these aircrafts in Kuban Career anymore?

 

Thanks.

I'll give my answer for no. 4 - I try to be about 1000 meters or higher than listed so we can bounce the top cover and keep them from having an advantage on my flight. ?

Yes, once they're gone, they aren't playable any more. On the Kuban map, all of the Hs 129 squadrons and most of the Ju 87 squadrons are sent north around June 1943 to take part in Operational Citadel. Some playable Ju 87 units return later in the campaign, but the Hs 129 units are gone forever.

You will lose the commander spot as a result of getting wounded, but you can reacquire the role at a later date should the new CO be wounded/killed.  The game chooses the most senior pilot in the unit to take the commander slot, so killing more enemies and achieving a higher rank would certainly help your chances.

As far as I am aware there is nowhere to check how many friendlies you might have killed during your career- but I do know you can be executed for treason if you do it too much.

I beg to differ. I have just checked the rank of the base commander and he is in fact, Leutnant. I am Oberleutnant. 

 

I also want to ask if historically, the Gustav 4 variant carried an external fuel tank. I know the Kurfurst 4 did from DCS experience, but sometimes, I just want to get to Gaudata or even SE towards Batumi area, and start wreaking havoc. i have read the devs report that at least the lead engineer is working that payload to eligible aircraft, but did not specify which ones. 

 

7- So did the Gustav 4 have drop tanks?

 

8- Did the weather engine get updated recently? I noticed skies are now having streaks above and look far better than a few days ago of being gloomy and dark blue pale.. 

 

9- Are there any plans for discounted prices on the Tank crew module? Does it feature ejected casings and loader animation with breech recoil?

That would be as a result of you being wounded.  Should your current Leutnant commander be wounded or killed you would get the slot back, assuming there aren't any available Hauptmanns in the unit.  The game won't give you the slot back so long as its filled, even if a lower rank is occupying it.

Historically yes they did, as every Bf-109 post E-7 had the ability to carry them.  IL-2 does not yet have drop tank functionality however.

Not the weather engine but the graphics were recently updated to include improved reflections and a few other miscellaneous lighting changes.

No idea.

9- I believe they don't do sales for items on pre-order but don't quote me on that.

Then I'll just edit my original post and make you look like you're putting words in my mouth. ?
