Geert Hooghe Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Hi, I have assigned a sqn. of 2 F-15E as escortfighters to escort transportplanes en bombers in a mission. How do i get them to really escort the transport ? When they arrive at the rendez-vous point, they don't escort the transport but rush back to their destinationairfield ! Is it possible to assigne the unit group (i.e. C-130h) to the escortfighters ? Tanks ! Geert Edited August 24, 2011 by Geert Hooghe
Jona33 Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 There is no way you can get fighters to actually escort the transports/ whatever. You just have to try and get the timing right. You might be able to do something with Hold triggers which resume when the transports are at the right point. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
Geert Hooghe Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Yeah, i thought so. It is neccessary to adjust the speed or ETA to the airbase for both the C-130H and the F-15E Sqn. This is making things difficult !! Thanks !
LostOblivion Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 You have an entire squdron escorting a C-130? :D :P A squadron is pretty large, you probably mean a flight. :) Nice plane on that gun... OS764 P930@4 MBUD3R M6GB G5870 SSDX25 CAntec1200 HTMHW
33rd_Havoc Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Hi, i had the same problem in one of my last missions. A good workaround is to give the eskort flight the task combat air patrol (cap). This works pretty good, you may have to adjust the arrival timing a litte bit but it should work good.

How big is a sqn. anyway ??
