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.

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

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.
