How JTAC works with flights and single aircraft.

[Harmer]

Need a bit of advice here.

 

Having got JTAC working quite well for my Hornet group Ops in the ME with the new GBUs and MavEs, it seems that when I put a flight down consisting of 4 Hornets (grouped as one entity), that only the 'flight leader' in slot 1 can raise and interact with JTAC via the radio menu.

 

If instead, I put the four Hornets down as separate entities, then it seems each can interact with JTAC via the radio menu.

 

Anyone confirm or deny this rumour?

Yeah, it's a limitation of the current radio system. This also applies to other things like tanker, awacs, etc. I wish this wasn't the case...

 

If you're going to have multiple clients in a mission, then always make them separate groups. Setting up flights is only good for AI or single player missions.

May be off topic.

How many player groups can you place in a mission? How many groups total? Is there a limit? I've played games where there was a hard number of groups (Player or ai)you could put in a mission.

There is no hard limit to the number of units, but performance will obviously suffer as your active units start numbering in the high hundreds/thousands.

 

As for number of simultaneous players in MP, that is an option set by the server machine.
