Wingman providing night illumination.

[Gunnergolly]

Hello

 

Just made a simple mission so that i could experiment with finding and shooting targets at night.

 

At the moment i find it works best if i take a full load of illumination rockets and i illuminate/designate the targets, whilst ordering my wingmen to do the shooting.......very effective !!!..

 

I think it would be great if one day ED would provide an additional command in the radio menu so that wingman could also be ordered to illuminate a designated area.

 

I think it should work along these lines.....

 

1 )I would designate an area and then order my wingman to illuminate that area.

 

2) He would then fly off and put approx 7km distance between him and the designated area.

 

3) He would then fire off a pair of illumination rockets every 30 seconds to provide continuous illumination.

 

4) In the meantime myself and the rest of my flight would start picking off targets.

 

Could make for some very interesting mission scenarios with a little imagination.

 

Just a suggestion ED :thumbup:

 

Regards Gunner...
