littlewing Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Hi, I'm fairly new to the game, I have a question. Why is my wingman taking off from the center of the runway and not on one of my sides? - I choose echelon formation in ME. Playing open beta and the f16 on Syria map. Thank you.

Passero Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 won't he join the formation once you are airborne? That's what I notice with the warbirds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlewing Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 Yes, but usually the wingman supposed to be next to me but slightly behind me.. He even passes me by sometimes and takes off before I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notso Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Yes, but usually the wingman supposed to be next to me but slightly behind me.. He even passes me by sometimes and takes off before I do. What I've noticed is that if you start off at the position "takeoff from Runway" with a wingman - the wingman will be lined up in echelon as per normal. However, if you cold start or start Hot on ramp, the wingman will follow you out to the runway but will not come out onto the runway until you take off, even if you pull onto the half of the runway.

Mars Exulte Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 My understanding is tandem takeoffs/landings are not normally done, anyway outside airshows or rare occasions. They almost always takeoff sequentially. Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
