How to make a carrier group

[grim_reaper68]

Hi

How could i manage to have the carrier with the escort ship to navigate together? Is there a tutorial about that? At this time i have to put manually every nav point for each ship. 

 

Thx for help

When you add a ship (or most unit types) to the map, you're actually adding a group. By default, groups have 1 unit in them, but you can add more by increasing the second number in the "unit" setting. This is explained in the DCS manual.

All units in a group will follow the same waypoints.

Does it mean that i have just to add more carrier and then i modify the type of ship?

I will try it .

Edit: it works. i really need to read all the manual. 

Thanks for the information

Once you've created the naval group you can also click on "Create & Mod Template" Icon (below "create ground unit" icon) in mission editor, name it as you want and save it as a template. You can use it in future missions also in other maps.
