The hardest thing for me is two things:

1) What El Aurens said. No documentation. I reread the manual in hopes of finding some info I maybe looked over the first time on how to start each plane up and not kill the engine. So far it's been youtube videos for me and trial and error, flipping switches and seeing what does what...

There should be a training mission for each plane that is an intro to the plane, similar to DCS A10. Explains the plane, a little history on it, and what everything in the cockpit does and settings to get it up in the air and blow stuff up.

2) Really bad menus and interface. I got this game for my brother for xmas, as we both flew IL2 together a lot online. It took us over an hour to figure out how to get online and spawn in and hook up and dogflight or fly with eachother. The menu and spawning system is so clunky.

I realllly hope they redesign this for BoM. All they have to do to look for inspiration is check out Rise of Flight. THAT is how you create a quick mission screen. It's all on one screen, very intuitive with dials not boring drop down menus.
