      Is it possible to give orders directly to 1-3 or 1-4? It’s often a wasted second Harm or other weapon when assigning a target to the element via E.

        well I do and it works.
        just designate your target and tell element to attack your target.
        works for me.

          Sath, unfortunately commands to the element are sent to thee lead. What I have always done is when you hear the first weapon release, immediately tell them to rejoin. This usually keeps them from releasing multiple weapons on one target.

            I came across that problem and I started to load 3 & 4 with different load outs. 3 would have harms and 4 would have mavs or SBD’s or something like that. It works for me.

              This is why you should fly online with your buddies :mrgreen:
              Once you start doing that, you won’t want to go back to flying with AI :rofl:

                Seriously, that’s a reason not to start, just in case you want to continue 😛

                  Tell element to “attack my targets” instead of “attack my target” and they won’t both target the same thing. Then weapons hold after the first one fires so they don’t continue free fire (AMT/AMTs is weapon free permission as well). But in general A/G you don’t have direct control over #3 and #4 targeting.

                  I find it’s best to:
                  Not use 4-ships for certain tasks
                  Let element attack first
                  Accept what AI decides to shoot

                  In Operation Allied Force 1000+ HARMs were fired for 6 SA-6 destroyed. Don’t worry too much about it.

                    He meant “Attack targets” instead of “Attack my targets”.

                        Many squads welcome noobies and patiently nurture them up the learning curve.
