SEAD Loiter?
-
Hi All,
I’m looking for a way to have my AI SEAD flights hang around to cover me while my flight conducts some rifle attacks against several fan songs that are all in HARM range.
Is there a way to set waypoint actions to have them patrol for a certain vul period, or should I just add a bunch of extra waypoints with SEAD actions?
My hope is that the AI SEAD pilots will wait until the SA-2 spikes me and then launch a HARM. Has anyone tried this?
Thanks for your help!

My limited testing indicates that the SEAD flight will fire an initial Volley at the SEAD WP and then hang around some time to see if anything comes up.
With multiple SAMs in the area you should consider having multiple SEAD flights as well and , if they are close enough to each other, add some more DEADs as well.
Thus you won´t have to come back later -
Hmmm…. interesting, this.
But at the same time, it looks a little espensive in terms of resources employed for a single mission, though…
not speaking of the need to assure one TARCAP flight (at least) to patrol the area nearby consequently, then, considered the time spent in covering the main attack flight.Thanks for your suggestion, mate. I’m going to test it, I’m curious to see what happens…
With best regards.
