RTB option please.

Any chance of a option to make Aircraft RTB after ive finnshed with them?

 

Thanks

in my limited experience they return after they have no tasks or waypoints... would be nice if they had options to:

 

park

shutdown

rearm and refuel specified weapons and fuel amount

land (without automatic)

take off

asign combat roles and tasks such as escort units

anchor points

set specific waypoint altitude

aerial refuel

set laser code

view armament (ya you could spectate but requires leaving the map)

 

basically alot of what can be done in editor, but on the fly in mission, would add a greater RTS/ Sandbox element, and make the $30 more worth it, since all the other moudules are so in depth

I would have to think the options will expand at some point, but definitely one for the wish list for sure...

It will RTB if you assign targets and it's completed the task assigned. It will then land, park and jump out of the cockpit - it's actually quite neat to watch. Would love an option to rearm/refuel - would make a server with only a couple of people come to life if you could direct air and ground assets on each side with attrition.

 

If you assign a waypoint, I don't know of any way to delete that waypoint. It'll just orbit there. Requires more fiddling.

 

I'm loving the direction CA is taking and it really does bring the battlefield to life when you can task AI flights and move ground forces. You don't need to rely on a mission designer to do anything more than provide you an objective. Command your own forces to achieve it.

It would also be cool if there's an option for the type of ordnance and quantity for each attck command..when i assigned a target to two A-10Cs yesterday they let out 4 mavericks in ONE run on ONE target..which really suck..

Well that sounds more like an AI fix is needed rather than an option for controlling flights in game :)

option to ask they to refuel from a tanker too would be great seeing as how you can even move the tanker where its needed on the fly.
