Carrier ops RTB AI wingmen.

[Darcwaynard]

I know the AI is dodgey at best when it comes to this sort of thing but does anyone know the best time to tell your flight to RTB when at the carrier?

 

Last attempt I tried was 2 seconds after I entered the break I ordered 'flight RTB'.

 

Once I trapped I hastily lifted the hook and folded wings, then I took a peak over my right shoulder and there was 2 already trapping and crashing into me spoiling my otherwise flawless mission. Any pointers would be appreciated!

I usually just let them land first, but I think if you never tell them RTB and just land, they will then break off the formation and enter the landing pattern on their own. The interval won't be realistic, but it should give you enough time to get out of the way.

Way too late. Order RTB in the port hold.

Thanks Wags! I'll give that a try and report back.

I have the same issue in the case III recovery with a flight of 4 ships , my wingman stays with me and crash on me while the other two flight randomly around, if i give the RTB order before the inbound the carrier calls the inbound procedure on his own, so i guess i have to call the inbound and then give the RTB ?

Any idea ?

Thanks

In Case I had good results giving the “kiss off” command just before the break.
