My take on CoD...

Not so.

I looked at it the other day, for me, what happens is, my autopilot lands, my buddies land, the enemies make it to France, some of them land.

My buddies die, in their cockpits, on the ground. Probably before all of the enemies land. All of my buddies. That ain't right.

I guess I'm supposed to end the mission with enemies still flying. I'm a vindictive person and I want to see them crash, that shouldn't be at the cost of all my (thus far, apparently) uninjured buddies.

I emphasise, this is unmodded.

Anyway, there's one mission in CloD, versus thousands in 1946, since my current version of 1946 seems to run disk free, I suspect I'll stick to 1946.

Not sure what you have going on there but I was referring to the Orig. game...I will try it in the finished game but I think that once landed your buddies "time out" and disappear which may not be right with you, but that is the game as designed

Sure, they time out and disappear, and that would be fine if they weren't recorded as kills for the enemy. It's a one off mission with no campaign and no roster, so I suppose it theoretically doesn't matter, but I don't like them being killed back at base on the ground. If they made it back to base wounded, in real life they would get medical attention, and most of them would live, even if they weren't fit to fly the following day.

Sometimes, some don't make it back to base, that's different. A crash out at sea, maybe the pilot wouldn't make it (though in life some did), but the ones who make a wheels up belly landing ought to have some chance of survival, and the ones who land at base should mostly survive.

So I tested this with both the Orig. and final game, and yes you are correct. This is not a problem in the Orig game though, do not time out or counted as lose/death...so if you have a strong machine you could fly that

Thanks for the confirmation that it is not something unique to my particular machine.
