Some FM changes can affect the timings in missions on occasion so flights will arrive early or late.

That's not a bug, it's an improvement in realism - perfect timing in combat is (usually) a fantasy. SNAFU!

Except that this is not real life and we design our missions according to the timing of the enemy target(s). Not saying it shouldn't be done but changing features that cause timing changes may, in fact, be more realistic but it can make previously developed missions unuseable.

Not much fun flying for 30 minutes just to find that the enemy was there and gone 5 minutes ago...

And also not much fun to go on a missiom where de defensive fighters (enemy fighters) should long have taken-off to engage you, but they still on the ground cleaning their nails and getting bombed at same-time...

No, no I never meant it was a bug. It's just a fact that old missions can be spoiled by improvements in the FM's

It just means that the mission designers need to tweak their missions to accommodate the new FM's.

In some of the old stock missions, when you change your position into not leading role, your flight leader tends heavily to show lack of fighting motivation by now.
Originally there was reactin anyhow, in spite sometimes it seemed not very skillfull, sometimes his attack path was so vigorous, thet you blacked out nearly immediately when trying to cover him. Now your flight leader climbes straight away from the scene where the bombers you were supposed to protect become slaughtered by enemy fighters and aou get tis annoying "stay on course" or "verdammt noch mal, wo haben sie fliegen gelernt" message, if you dive in for a kill.
