Who's in the Know ?

if you are lucky, in combat you can get wingman follow orders by padlocking then issuing command to flight and attack my target. to do this you need to fly autopilot to the first waypoint dont ask why. you can also try to get the wingmen to rejoin you by issue the order close formation.

but this also is affected by the discipline setting in the skills. if you set too much discipline they stick with you and never attack enemy. if you set too low discipline they run off doing whatever they want and never listen you.

so much depends on the mission designer skill settings and even then...the commands is broken and was never fix.
