Fallen_Tyrael Posted June 28 Posted June 28 I think it would be an idea to have some patterns for escorting aircraft. Like a zig zag patten across the escorted group, this kind of patten was used during WW2 by the escorting fighters of bombers for a few reasons, like it was easier to keep an eye on the bombers and out for enemy fighters, also it meant the escorting fighters didn't have to slow down to the same speed as the bombers. It should be able to use the same options as the current escort (Distance, Elevation and Interval) but it maybe worth adding another option to that for the zig zag pattern like width (how far the escorting aircraft will cross before turning to cross again) so you could have them set to cross a large formation of bombers instead of one small group. Once again I'm not sure if this has been requested before and I apologise if it has. If anyone else has or knows of anymore types of escort pattern then do feel free to add it here too.
