Sims are also games. I've a suspicion, I don't know whether it's correct, that there's a difficulty adjusting algorithm at work in IL2 (offline), and it only takes any notice of the result of a mission when the mission completes, you "die", or are "captured". Restarting the same mission breaks the immersion anyway, so why not get it over with.

In IL2 bailing out over enemy territory gets you back to the same mission start, with the same weapons load, exactly as if you "died".

I'd like an option of only flying one mission once.

I can see that option working two ways, firstly "dying" making you start the next mission with the lowest rank, and working your way up the ranks again, secondly just starting the following mission with no difference in rank.
