Confirmed evidence

The campaign combines hard choices, multiple target types, squad composition and upgrade decisions, making adaptation more reliable than an invented universal loadout.

The distinction that matters

A blind run values information and recovery; a repeat run values efficiency against known pressure. Those are different optimization goals.

Decision for this scenario

Record what ended the run, not merely which target felt annoying, and change one major variable at a time.

What to do

Write down the mission objective, failure condition and hardest target class. Choose the player aircraft and special weapon for the task that requires the most precision, then use the remaining three squad slots to cover parallel pressure. Save the result after the debrief so later changes reflect actual evidence rather than memory.

What remains unconfirmed

Checkpoint structure, difficulty scaling, mission ranks and retry penalties are not fully public.
