I prefer the sub mission style, as you can alter the submission or load alternatives, where as hard fixing an internal mission means it is diffcult to alternate without shutting down the main mission.
I'm working on an inbetween variant, using sub missions, but creating internal missions from the mis data. It is a random flight/wing/group generator where I grab mission data from the mis files as "basic" info then manipulate waypoints and flight details to mix it up.
The idea is, recurring or reactive Ai flights are different each time they are generated.
I have as randoms: Class aircraft type per side, random numbers 1~12 in the flight, random skill, random path around the original "base path". Task type is taken into account for specifics placement.
data is extracted from a sub mission, which is created by a single plane and flight task and path. which makes for simple user mis generation.
submission can be updated in real time without dropping the main mission.
Still WIP, about 80% there.
