In IL-2, the dynamic cmpaigns were poorly programmed, meaning the flight paths were unrealistic (flying dierctly over a heavily defended enemy airfield on the way to a target or into a mountainside), plus in many cases when your airfield was attacked, the # of enemies was too great and your force was too small, faulty, unreliable AI, and unrealisic robustness models. Missions often got intensely repetitive. This often involved having to modify the mission via the FMB which required lots of patience and time.
Some of these negatives are 'realistic', but that doesn't make the game enjoyable. The original purpose of a flight sim was that you could escape reality and become an immortal, funloving, trigger-happy young chap flying around in the plane of his choice. The point of an entertainment product is to have fun, not to get driven away by repetitive missions.
Also, I really didn't have the time or patience to create my own campaigns, plus many of the included ones were very difficult adn 'un-fun'.
If there is to be a dynamic campaign in SoW, put lots of care and attention to detail into it to make it a LOT more enjoyable than IL-2.
Please include:
-The Spit Mk.Ib (2x20mm cannon, 4x.303s)
-Refueling and rearming stops
-MUCH better AI
-Include the Dewoitine D.520 and a a france campaign
