After I posted I was just thinking the same thing that #2 shouldn't be second in comand anyway, and was going to make that my point in my next post, but you beat me to it

The whole promotion thing for the player seems a bit strange in IL2. In a German campaign for example, if the player starts at the lowest rank ( I usually do, as I like to work my way up the ranks ) it would be expected to start as #8 and as you improve move up to #4 or #2 but still as a wingman. Then after a couple of promotions, say to Leutnent, you would move to #7 with your own #8 wingman.
However, in IL2 you will still be a wingman at the rank of Hauptman, which I doubt would ever have been the case in reality, and then at the next promotion you are suddenly in command of the whole schwarm !

If that could be fixed it would make a big difference to the immersion factor in an offline campaign.

I know TD must be overwhelmed by suggestions, but if we don't ask then we won't get. I will say thanks in anticipation that you even consider it.

Can I heartily 2nd the above! I desperately want to be able to make the player the 2nd section or schwarm leader in an Offline Malta campaign I'm constructing, but thanks to the odd way in which Il2 treats ranks and positioning it means that even at Flight Lieutenant/Captain/Hauptmann rank when you should be leading the 2nd or 3rd Flight you are still wingman to the lead.

There were some videos around somewhere about a number of projects Daidalus Team is working on, including working radar for night fighters, allowing aircraft to take off in a side by side formation (instead of the current system of all planes being lined up nose to tail on the runway) and adding action triggers to missions so that for example aircraft could be set up in the mission builder so they remained on the ground until enemy aircraft approached, at which point they would scamble to intercept.

Anyway, I'm sure that one of the DT members will appear soon to explain more about these features and any other projects they are working on at the moment

Please add a command for AI level bombers to drop bombs upon release of lead aircraft's bombs, something like "drop on my mark".

What is the purpose of the new QMB's "Pos." box and categories "N, A, B"? Clearly it has something to do with starting positions, but I can't understand.

When Target None is selected you can set horizontal position of enemy. N-Neutral, classic QMB setup
A-Advantage, your flight starts behind the enemy
D-Disadvantage, enemy starts in your six.

Yes, thank you, we got them. It will take some time to answer them all.

BRILLIANT! Great work. I really enjoy the early I-16s, too.
