Pilot

The Pilot is who you play as in the European Theater. You can pick up to 3 pilots or create your own from 3 nationalities, from American, Great Britain, and Germany. You can also customize you attritubes such as Vision, G-force tolerance, and health as well as keep track of your flight stats.

Creating a pilot
In Quick Combat, Mission, and Campaign mode you can create a pilot. You can assign him a name and write about his background if you would like.

Pilot Attributes
You can use attributes to enhance your pilot's perfrormance for Vision, G-tolerance, and Health. In quick Combat you have plenty of Attribute points and can change them whenever, but in Campaign mode you only start with low stats and have to earn them over time and applying them is permanent. The amount of attrubutes you have can effect how well you perform is combat. Most of these skills you can apply more or less to a fighter or bomber pilot.

You can adjust your attributes by clicking on the pilot tab, selecting your pilot, and then sliding the red bar to change it. You cannot reverse your attributes in the Campaign.

Vision
Vision is how far you can spot an unidentified bogeys at long range, to recognize enemies sooner so they don't align their guns up on you before they get with range, or to safely identify friendlies from a distance. The more the Vision, the more information you can gather from a incoming target on the ground or in the air to spot them in time.

G-force
This is vital is air to air combat for fighter pilots. In dogfights, constantly performing evasive and offensive maneuvers can slowly cause you to black out or to red out from descending downwards too fast, and block out your screen. Having more G-force attributes can help resisting the amount of sudden blood rushing to your pilot's brain, to ensure that by the time you recover you won't be a sitting duck. This can also help you recover faster from both black out and red outs.

Health
This is vital for survival if it is a must, especially if you're a bomber pilot. Note that applying Health attributes only affects your pilot, not the durability of your plane. If a aircraft's bullet penetrates your cockpit or you get battered up by AA fire, your pilot will have a slim chance to returning to base conscious. While your aircraft will continue to fallout apart from constant damage, your pilot with high health should be able to withstand the trauma.

Dossier
