Command wingman to attack certain targets

[Hairdo1-1]

This already exists with combined arms. I should be able to select a target on the f10 map and command the wingman to attack

It’d be nice if wingmen attacked any targets reliablyI really wanted you to attack the tank battalion we were supposed to, not fly off 30 miles in a different direction to the nearest Sam site, then get shot down because all you had was gbu38’s

In the A-10C you can share your SPI and command your wingman or flight to attack that.

They could get a similar system I imagine. The Datalink in the Hornet can potentially show your target to other aircraft I suppose. Not as directly as the A-10 can though. In the Hog it’s an actual function with the systems. Not sure about the Viper or Apache. Being DCS this should be done realistically IMO. Clicking on the F10 map is a bit gamey. Maybe a menu system for calling out a target by bearing and range etc would be best.

The Ka-50 has this feature. I can direct any of my wingmen to attack my currently locked target. Only issue is, they sometimes try to attack an air defense target with gun or rockets (although they carry Vikhr ATGM's)  and that gets them killed. So it would be good to have a command like "attack my target with Vikhr!"
