If AW3 was any indicator of consequences of surprise missions,then I would have to say that the ability to produce and save missions for circumstances that develop in the course of a day's plan of action provides a great stimulus to be on top of the game .It creates a keen interest in being a squad mate,to be able to fulfil these missions.It doesnt feed the need for a half hour of blasting,but provides for a longer duration of satisfaction and comradery.For instance,a few squadies might develop a penchant for surprise torp missions...which means adequate carrier movement and strategic spotting,along with critical waypoint planning,for successful fleet interception.This couldnt occur with AI developing a plan,because the surprise element is gone.This is only an example,but ultimately,the mission plan flexibility develops a long term strategy on its own...punch for counter punch.I could see rank being gained by being an OPs officer or strategian...based on how many log in on a mission,and how many victories are achieved in total while on a mission.Also,the whole group in a mission could advance in rank or accreditation,based on the same success.
