For years I have been wishing for "flight intergrity" within the squadrons (in the Campaign mode) as it, generally, was in real life. Losses, leave, transfers, new arrivals, not withstanding.
Don't know about kette integrity within the Jastas - JFM?
And now with ME we have a tool that can accomplish that. Always have the same flight members with you on campaign missions. Have not tried it yet but I think ME can do this no problem? JJJ65?
Course casualties in WOFF being what they are this is no boon to your poor AI flightmates, having to fly "more" but it will, if nothing else, be cool see how your mates progress, keep tabs on them, etc. Unless, of course, it turns out to be a wholesale personnel change every 5 missions because of losses.
Basically I feel you'll now have a (better) reason to try and take care of them as they will no longer be "semi-faceless" in the crowd coming (and going!) almost without notice.
Now to pick my flight members. Or better perhaps a random selection...
