[B]What's best about IL-2, and this is a good example of how making the leap from hardcore flight sim to arcade sim for 505 Games has worked, is the ability to jump into any of the remaining aircraft from your squadron when you've been shot down, thus eliminating the need to restart the mission.
Now that would be awesome!

Yep. I was right about the ability to bail, but I heard you had to pause to use that option. I hope you can have a list of options by hitting "select".

So if your squadron is in the air with you does that mean you have to parachute then run back to your base to find aircraft in the hangar?

I think once you bail, I'm sure you'll have the option of waiting till you hit the ground or maybe tap a button to jump into the next plane.

And of course we're not going to run back.

Depends on which plane. In the original you could eject from the he-162, an me-262 varient, and an IL2 varient I think. But ejecting was very primitive and not like how it today. Back then, you had to punch-out, unbuckle yourself, then deploy your parachute. The idea was simply to clear the plane, not do everything in one sequence like modern ejection seats. But yes, it would still be neat.

Also try not to get knocked out by your own tailplane.

That always sucks. A familiar death message from the days of Aces Over Europe.
