Changes and tweaks to career mode

On January 13, 1942, Sch.G1 was deployed on the basis of the II. (Schlacht)/LG2 stationed in Dugino. On the same day the 4./Sch.G1 was formed in Dugino, equipped with Bf 109 E aircrafts. It stayed in Dugino until April 1942, when it was sent to Germany to receive Hs 129s. I think it would be a nice addition if this would be added to the career mode, so you can start flying for the II. (Schlacht)/LG2 and on January 13 have the choice to fly for the I./Sch.G1 or change to the newly formed 4./Sch.G1 and fly the Bf 109 E7 until April on the Moscow map and then go on on the Stalingrad map flying the Hs 129.

Unfortunately, at this point I don't think you are going to see any new playable units for the maps we already have. The good news though is that there will be a lot of new ground attack units in the Karelia and Odessa careers.

How is it defined who becomes the next squadron leader? In my current UK career, Commander died, but even though I've been already Deputy Commander Flight Lieutenant, another Flight Lieutenant became Commander. The very same day, or the next one, I was promoted to the rank of Squadron Leader and instantly awarded the Air Force Cross (12.09.1944). It was near the end of the Normandy career. Now I'm in Rhineland, and still as Deputy Commander.

 

I would also like to know, how is the rotation defined of who gets to fly, as since 15.04.1944 to 21.09.1944 which is 134 days of service, I made only 72 flights. I noticed that I am often assigned to either one, or two flights per day, but after I click the next day, then I disappear from the list for some reason, and I think at most, it has been around 5 days of me seeing myself assigned each day, just to click next day and disappear again.

This is something, I asked for to be changed. Unfortunately it won't happen. If I am not completely wrong, it is always the third pilot, who gets the new squadron commander, not the Deputy, as it should be. This leads to quite absurd situations, when your Squadron Commander gets wounded. You then might have a squadron leader with the lowest officers rank, a deputy with a higher rank, and the former Squadron Commander with the highest rank, becomes a regular pilot in the squadron after he has recovered.

I thought so, but I wanted to ask if there is a chance.

Too sad, that we won't get the Bf 110 E1 or the Hs 123, which could be used from the beginning up to Stalingrad at least.

Again annoying behavior of the AI

 

P39 Kuban career

Free hunt mission

 

Several 109s are gangin up un me while my 3 other wingmen are just ignoring them an doing circles around me an the 109's.

It's just frustrating when your allied AI does nothing and even the enemies and your wingmen are irgnoring each other - that just kills any feeling of aircombat between oposing units.

One of our mission designers ran the mission and didn't encounter any issues. Did you perhaps issue any orders to your wingmen? This can sometimes cause them to not react to enemies around you.

Hey @LukeFF

 

Thank you for the reply and the testing.

 

Yes I did Issue orders to the flight - so maybe I should omit them in the future?

 

If this can fix such issues, I'm happy with that. 

 

I'll soon start a new career hopfully avoidung such incidents.

 

 

Best greetings

Yes, it's best to just let your wingmen do what they need to do. I experienced something similar recently with the Iron Wind campaign and was told that yes, issuing the AI commands can cause them to go inactive.
