Ask Gunners to hold their fire

Here's something that i think noone ever asked for but in esense such an abitlity could save your binary life.

So .. how about if we could ask the gunners to hold their fire?

Eh?

Excellent point.

Especially at night!

I would like to have that option very much, but I don't think it will make much difference in SP, but I hope Oleg has secretly put brains in enemy AI pilots

Nonetheless, this would be a great option.

I would also find this VERY useful.

That would be essential. It would also be desirable for them to report sightings of land, sea and air targets and their position.

Not suer if it was in IL2, but I'd also like a command to tell the AI/online wingmen to regain altitude or get as much as they could (maybe add presets). It would be useful when you know that enemy fighters are approaching. I find that in SP my wingmen would end up skimming the ground after a dogfight and as soon as some new enemies shows up they were dead meat. Issuing a "on my six" command isn't always appropriate for every situation, but it usually works for most.

That's not a new feature, IL2 already has that. Turn auto gunner off = hold fire.

So the gunners have a sight ability that the fighters dont?

Hoping to sneak past?

INteresting.
