Failed missions

Why in the campaign are only the completed missions counted?

Absolutely agree. Another thing that gets in my nerves is no shared kills. In real war, pilots got half kills.

And what about probable and damaged aircraft and ground targets?  You can waste all your ammo on one target (As I normally do in a dogfight :-[.) and he won't go in after hitting him a few times, that's a damage.  And when you think you shot someone down but no one saw him go in, it's a probable.  I never played IL-2 but does it have anything like that?

I dont know, I never played IL-2 but yes, it would be a great idea.

Tip: use your rockets! When you've pumped enough lead on an aircraft and it wont go down, usually it's crippled so bad it wont make much evasive turns and fly real slow and straight. So get behind him, at 200 feet and stabilize your airspeed so you wont over pass it. Aim a good bit above him, and shoot a rocket. If you fail correct your aiming. This has made me shoot up to 5 planes in one mission!

It's a good idea but if I run into fighters it's normally after I've bombed, strafed, and rocketed (is that a word? ???.).  So all I'll have is my eight 50s.  I'll try it in free flight.
