An old game, I think it was Pacific Air War 1942, had the ability to change the aircraft you were piloting in mid mission. For offline missions this gives you the opportunity to fly as fighter escort to the target, switch to a bomber seat for the bombing run (if you had protected them well enough, then switch back to a fighter for the return. You could also switch to a new aircraft if you were shot down without having to restart the mission. --- Ok. perhaps not very realistic, but it was a lot of fun.
It might be considered non historic or arcadish, but then so might Air Starts or Instant Success, both of which are options in the Sim already. I would envisage it being an option available in the Difficulty settings, to be turned on or off as you prefer.
Would this be difficult, or desirable, to do for offline missions in IL2?
