No matter what commands in whatever situation my wingmen always debrief with VERY low kill rates.
I read a post on ordering my WingMen to release their weapons according to MY selection, is that preferable to the AI?

I am playing the main campaign my current mission is 11.

Without knowing too much about Janes FA18 yet, my (short) experiences says that your wingmen are slow workers, like any other flight sim. If you give your flight the bomb command in good time, they will do their job well, just as they can do their air-to-air kills well enough.

But if you want them to go after targets of opportunity, the AI pilots go numb and take long approaches to the targets. That's what I have seen so far.

Giving them orders to "attack my target" is a fast way to activate them... just like in F15.

Now, Check Six,
Brick out.
