Promotion in Campaign mode

[Misterdan]

I have spent some considerable time playing through the campaign and i have noticed that getting your pilot promoted seems to happen (in my opinion) too quickly.

In my current Campaign I started with a sergeant pilot in RFC 70 and within 7 weeks of game time of enlisting this pilot he is a Captain which I wolud have thought impossible in reality.

 

What I would like to know is if there is any file that can be changed to make promotion a little harder/longer time period to achieve just to help with experience of the campaign.

 

Any help much appreciated

Hello Misterdan :)

 

I think promotion is linked to the successful completion of missions, so you can slow down your promotion prospects by making it more difficult to complete the missions. I don't know what workshop settings you are using, but try some of the harder (usualy more 'realistic') ones if you are not already doing so. Also, try flying without any aids (if you are using them) such as the TAC, the in-game map, etc. Just using a paper map and not using the TAC will mean that you will no longer hit all of the waypoints, and so you will not always complete the mission successfully. My career pilot has survived for one month now, without a single promotion :)
