Hi,
As for now (Beta version 2.7.3.8494) I can confirm that in M03 wingman is not performing any task given. I also spent ~20 minutes when I gave him order to do first show of force and he did nothing, just anchoring nearby. On the second attempt I did everything myself except I gave my wingmen order to gun strafe escaping truck. Agian, he did nothing and I had to perform this task. Then I did AAR, came back and landed on aircraft carrier while wingman was stuck all the time on tanker trying to do a refuel.
