Yup. It's just that part 1 had very few parts where i as a player could take a break, familiarize myself with my equipment, the story, and just enjoy the scenery. Or put another way: There was su much action in it, that i didn't have enougth time to enjoy all the other qualities WIH has. At the same time there was a lot of diary reading. Maybe some of the story that is in the Diary could be told through comm messages during a non story significant, low action mission.
Actually you did exactly that in "One perfect moment" . And in "The Intervention". The KEN mission doesn't count. ^^ Thinking more about it I realize, that many other missions also had such parts in it. Still the feeling that i didn't have enougth breaks remains. Maybe you even intended that.^^
Thinking back to the FS2 campaign i remember that there was a lot of speculation going on amongst the pilots during the missions. I think WIH has very few of that.
