Deep into Normandy Career, getting skipped on second mission always


Recommended Posts

Really a question more than a bug report, just curious if this is normal behavior or if something is off about this. 

 

I'm roughly 40 sorties/30hrs into a Normandy Career as a P38 pilot with the 392nd FS. This career starts on Jun 7th, and I'm now in early August at the start of the battle of the Falaise Pocket. I've had Career Speed realistic and enemy density/difficulty medium throughout. 

 

For the first ~25 hours of this career I flew every day at least once, sometimes twice, unless I was injured or on the various days the calendar skips and says Air Operations Cancelled on xxxxx date.

 

Somewhere around late July (in terms of the in game calendar) I was promoted to Captain and became the squadron commander. At roughly the same time (but I can't say exactly, it took me a while to notice the pattern) the game started removing me from the second sortie of the day, if I was scheduled for it, every single time. 


Therefore, if I do not get to fly the first sortie of the day, I do not fly that day. When I click "next day" sometimes it'll show me listed for the second sortie, but once the first sortie has been flown and the page refreshes, my name is taken off the roster for the second flight. Sometimes this results in several days being skipped entirely. For example I was unable to fly in the airfield transfer missions from RAF Ibsley to Carantan on Aug 1st. The game had shown me up for the second flight of the day, but again took me off when after the first flight.


This was a real low point for me after so many hours back and forth across the channel, I was really looking forward to making that flight one last time in a more leisurely manner with the squadron. But instead, I've got to make up a story in my head that someone else flew my P38 and I road in a transport or something because I'm just magically in France now. 

 

So anyway, just curious if this is normal for the career mode or something to do with being promoted to the squadron commander etc?

I've had this several times for the Normandy career, usually late May. It isn't normal and doesn't happen on the other maps. I reported it some time ago but so far not fixed.

Devs, this is indeed some type of bug and getting more frustrating. I've invested 30-some hours into this career character and am at the very end game of the Normandy Career which should be the most enjoyable missions imo, because now we're flying from airfields in Normandy instead of an hour+ transit over the channel every mission. But I'm literally flying two or three times a week at this point. Missing entire chunks of the Falaise battle. Missed another airfield transit mission. 

 

Literally every single time my name is on for the second mission of the day, once the first mission has been flown I'm replaced with an AI character for the second mission, for more than a month straight of the game calendar. Is there any type of file I can upload for you to investigate this? 


Thank you.
