Mission 3 ... about -1

[speed-of-heat]

A couple of things:

Spoiler

When we intercept the backfires, -1's intercept geometry is terrible.... however when -1 says they are in firing position they are not , after the Backfires drop -1 then turns in front of the Backfires and leads them out  and if you stay on the wing of the lead (as instructed), you have no way of rejoining before she complains you are out of formation

That's true. It is caused by follow command bug discussed also under this topic. 

It is reported to the ED and all we can do is to wait them to fix it. The same problem when AI is approaching a tanker. It slows down to stall speed.

Not really, she doesn't stall , its just terrible geometry and then as i say she preforms a syrian lead turn in front of them to "follow them from the front"

It seems to be fixed by ED and working correctly in dev version so the fix should be out in the next DCS patch

also note in the dogfight, -1  performs an unnatural air ground interface i think ... I like the debriefing at the end of the mission though the "post script" scene means one cant examine the mission out comes particularly easily and the scoring is always "100"

You are right. The scoring doesn't tell you much in this campaign. Feedback about your success is given in the debriefing.
