some 1e person shooters have a function where when playing solo it would create restore points every few minutes, so if you get killed you can resume from that point again rather than have to redo the whole level again.
a version of this would be useful in BoB for solo campaigns and coops, if it takes you 30 minutes to fly to an objective ( torpedo attack on ships for ex), then making some minor mistake right before the fun start and getting killed makes for a rather boring evening. if you could access your last restore point with F6 and warp back to just 2 minutes before the attack run, then you can try the most fun part of the mission several times till you are happy with the result (and in the mission results log it would mark how many times it was retried).
remember that most people who will buy BoB are people who play it on their own at home and might never come online to use it on servers. if you want to broaden the sales and make it more attractive for the general public, you have to add options which increase their fun factor and allows them to use it as they wish. the full real online crowd might whine about features like this because it is not relevant to real time online servers, but for the more casual flightsim fans this is probably a good idea.
