-Wingman movement-

[CiniKo]

I wanted to ask if there is the possibility to move my Wingman from a point to another point over the map (for ambush...scouting etc..) without the help of PVI or ABRIS, only via Datalink?....and which is the procedure?

 

thxZ

Watch the producers note for datalink there you see how it is done =)

You can lock up a position with the Shkval, then select the wingman number on the datalink panel and finally press the send/mem button. This will transmit the locked position without storing it in the ABRIS. The drawback is that the position has to be in view range.

 

An easy way to create preplanned attacks is to set a PVI target point in the mission editor on each location that you want your wingmen to use as an ingress point. Prior to the attack you send these TPs to your wingman and order them to move there, and to hold position once they arrived at the point. Then you can initiate a coordinated attack. The problem of this method is that you have to read the contour lines on the map very carefully in order to find good IPs/holding points for your wingen, where they aren't exposed to enemy fire.

The only problem is, even if you set a safe IP, once they go weapons free they'll still wonder forward - for some reason they seem unwilling to engage targets at maximum range.
