An AI question for TD.

If I am in a QM with 32 planes say 16 fighters... and 16 bombers.. How do I command the guys in flights 5-8? Do I just use the squadron command? How do I do it for individual flights other than Red,Green,White & Blue.. If I put the 16 bombers on page two of the QM will they just do their own bomber thing and I just use the first page for the fighters? Is that what you guys were thinking?

You can only command 4 flights maximum and only if they are all from your squadron.

Thanks.. What about when I ask for help.. say if i had a flight set up with flight s that are not in my squadron and I call for anyone to help me... but I am closer to the other flight will they respond?

They will not respond to "Anyone help me" but if they are close to you and they are not busy with some other task they will respond to Ground Control/Request Assistance command

Ahhh!! Thanks.. I am finding that there is a lot more to the AI in IL2 than previously thought.. and with the right commands and actions on the single pilot's part you can get a lot more out of them.
