Throughout Morning Sun, I had an ace whose plane I upgraded from A4N1 to A5M4 to A6M2 Zero. By the end of the campaign, he had many victories. (I took great pains to make sure he was never shot down.)
I was looking forward to continuing his fabled career in Rising Sun but, as I was reminded when importing my core just now, although the Zero is in the game (with only 30% of its experience but I understand that for game balance) and the plane's record is intact, the pilot himself is not available. Same thing for a certain highly successful tank commander.
[Heh, my mental image to cover this is that Japanese high command deems these heroes too valuable to lose in further combat, hence they are back in the homeland giving speeches and making propaganda movies.
]Please consider this constructive criticism and a suggestion to have the commanders move forward from campaign to campaign where the export/import core feature is offered. I doubt that this would overly affect game balance.
