A question of height

[BadAim]

Your not necessarily listening to your flight leader. If you have radio chatter enabled, you will hear information unrelated to you over the radio whether there are other flights with you or not. You have to follow your flight lead over the indicated waypoints on your map, not verbal instructions.

You must remember that the base code is over ten years old on this game, don't expect to much. In spite of the fact that it's the best game in town, IL2 is very long in the tooth.
