Not decided quite how to deal with continual loss of aircraft, leaving players without a helicopter to fly in a helicopter game is NOT an option.
I hear real military's have the same problem... But that's a pretty nice touch. I'd be ok with not having any birds left being "game over" for that campaign. I think it imparts a sense of responsibility and ownership of the bird.

I have had a campaign in EECH die to to lack of aicraft. You should only need this lesson once. I have won campaigns in EECH by going after enemy supply choppers and a/c. I flew a major in a world wide SEOW (scorched Earth Online War) in Il-2 during Q1+Q2 of this year. A campaing where the administrator found it nessesary to give more planes to both side becourse Blue side had unexpecting high lossses. EECH where the first Sim where I found out that I could win the war by loosing single missions. That saving a battledamage aircraft where more important than accomplishing the mission. I fly the same way to day. To most of my Il-2 friends I a the greatest sissy The loss of a/c might not matter much in a dogfight server where you can get a new a/c by hitting refly, but SEOW(and COOP) missions (and the real world), this will effect the outcome. I fact that I like. I make people more consious of the fact that reallife does not have a refly button I belive that you should have an option for both; Running out of a/c and not running out of a/c. It can be done by an option box when you initialize the campaign or as pop-up screen when you run out of a/c. The campaign score, citations and medals should reflect this so pilots can compare stats. Sim pilots have different need for realisme. BTW: I rather not be a pilot in the pictures of birds you have posted. It might be safety glass, but....
Will we EVER get a real Rainbow Six game again. One for the real Tactic fans? A WWII sim with a dynamic campagn. Games with deept?

Your AI co-pilot may also use some colourful metaphors at times of being hit by large projectiles. I know Jim recorded one or two from the test ones I was sent a while back. Could use a few more as I like them. that sounds very good to me. I hope you collect a wide array of this. The damage looks convincing enough, and if system can fail in a plausible way, fair enough ... Michael

Vierzinger's suggestion is valid I think, having an option of running out of aircraft or not during the campaign. I recall LB2 had selectable rates for how fast helos and weapons were replenished. Of course in the real world if a unit lost an Apache in theater, they would usually be SOL until they got back Stateside. Even then, the only way they'd get a replacement would be to sign for a helo from another unit, or wait until the assembly line in Mesa spit out another one. Wouldn't it be funny if Flexman and AD added a fading paint scheme over time so every time one was replaced, it would show up all clean and dark green, lol..."Alright Jack, did you crash another one while I was offline?"

or the aircraft BuNo/serial can increment by one What about crew damage? rushing back to base/hospital can save a player if not mortally wounded? Does the games ESRB rating affect the depiction of blood etc?
