AI fuel efficiency modifier

[Exorcet]

Would it be easy to add this as fill in for more coordinated take offs?

 

I was testing a mission yesterday, but all my wingman ran out of fuel before reaching the target. I did not even use half gas.

 

3 and 4 were continually slowing down and using afterburer. They hit bingo fuel less than halfway through the ingress flight. I had waited for 2 after taking off, so I didn't see him doing anything unusual, but he had to eject over the water as we were trying to intercept a fleeing bomber at max speed. I was able to kill the running bomber without hitting bingo.

 

The AI is obviously terrible at fuel management, so it would be nice if I could simply do something like cut their fuel use in half so that they're able to actually stay with me for a reasonable amount of time.

 

This option would also serve well for testing purposes. In the long term, we need more options for taking off so that the whole flight can line up on the runway as is done when you select "takeoff from runway".
