adam12 Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Is it possible to tell my wingmen to engage freely but stay in formation? (Relatively) I want to be able to control their positions very carefully because even with the "Hold" command they move too much. I often can find a spot where with a little flares or even "duck down/pop up" maneuvering can keep us safe from SAM/AA fire. But then they won't engage. If I want them to engage, even with a hold order, I have to accept that they're going to move around and they will die. They always always die as soon as they leave formation. :) :cry: 1
andysim Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 DataLink was made for this type of thing, if you tell your wingman to fly to a Datalink Point he will and he will stay thier unless hes engaged by enemy. Its a video for BS1 so some of the radio calls are changed but it works for me. It will also help you perform attacks as a group.
adam12 Posted November 7, 2011 Author Posted November 7, 2011 I'll use that as a work-around for now, thanks. Still, it would be much better if they just engaged from formation and I could move us around that way. The other thing is, that the wingman "evasive" procedure is a suicide run. They don't know that if we're low to the ground behind a ridge we can just drop a few meters and be safe. Typically I survive the mission and all my wingmen die - why? Because they don't "do as I do".
spikenet Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Typically I survive the mission and all my wingmen die - why? Because they don't "do as I do". ha yeah! I played first mission of GOW in BS2 and was happily keeping low and doing my ingress.. next thing is I get radio from wingman "I'm hit" I'm like WTF, where are you? Stupid AI, but at least they tell you more in BS2 like "running in" etc
