What is the campaign like?
 

Anyone care to comment on the quality of the campaign? I hear rumours that it is poor.

AI always miss. I'm really bad at flying and they ALWAYS miss me.

i see no way to save progress in the campaign. it appears to be just a string of missions that are linked by a next button.

Same problem here... everytime I quit and come back, I have to restart...

Weird... i have continued the campaign on 3 seperate occasions today. Be sure to click CONTINUE though and not new :p

the campaign is more like a story in itch you participate... it is like reading a book..i like it.. .and it is based on true people and true event during BOB

Perhaps it's because in their eyes you're kind of stuttering? ;)

Anyway, thanks for the insight of the campaign. I hope i will be able to play it soon, sounds great ...

Be VERY CAREFUL not to press 'new campaign' rather than 'continue' while in the midst of a campaign. Ludicrously, there is no 'Are you sure?' safeguard.

I accidentaly clicked in the wrong place and lost all my campaign progress. :(

Is it immersive?

IMHO,not very much.
The briefing is a story,you read dialogues between you,your friend and the squad leader for example.
In game,there are some dialogues,but they are awful:
For example,in third mission (spoiler) you have to shot down a bomber,and you don't have permission to take off and your leader says "what are you doing,you are not allowed " and instead of shouting "WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU ******** !!!?!?!?!" the tone is like "what....are...you...doing" like all the other default comms.This doesn't help at all for immersion.

I didn't get how the missions work btw,sometimes i come back to base and there is a MIssion -failure also when in game there was the famous il-2 "Mission completed" word in yellow.And also if you die,you can press continue like it was never happened :rolleyes:
It's a pity that there is no diary,like pilots MIA,your kill streak,medals or promotions and other things that were in IL-2 default campaign.I really hope in the community work for new campaigns relase,like Mission4today ecc.
