deafaviator Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 I can’t get my escorts to stay with AWACS. They keep staying roughly 10k below the AWACS but will still generally follow it. Just not in formation like they’re supposed to. Is this in order to not interfere with AWACS or is it something else? I have the exact same setup with a tanker (same speeds, altitudes, escort aircraft, etc) and they follow the tanker perfectly but will always follow AWACS from far below.
Sandman1330 Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Is it an E2? I have the same problem with Tomcats escorting an E2. I think it’s because the E2 flies too slow for the fighters. They still do the job of engaging incoming bandits though, so appearances aside, no big deal.

deafaviator Posted April 1, 2019 Author Posted April 1, 2019 If I recall it’s not because it’s flying too slow. I’ll check again but I’m pretty sure it was plenty fast enough. The jets stay with it perfectly until the start of the orbit, then they immediately drop down nearly 10k and fly somewhat erratically. What’s confusing is I believe the commanded speed is based on ground speed, so it takes some figuring out to find the right speed to use.
