close air formation?

[Relemar 10]

hi, anyone know the best way to make a close air formation when flying? I want to fly in pairs, with AI and them mirror my movement basically.

we're both in harriers, whats best formation or something to get what I want?

basically, fly in a close, tight formation (ie, behind me or beside me)

I'd say Vee or Line works best.

guess you have to approach as much as possible to the other aircraft, but being very careful not to hit it

hope this helps! :)

well, if the ai pilot is in your squad, i'd guess 8-8 ( colum, short ? ) would be the best for a close in formation ( witch usualy are only used for airshows, and way out, to denie the unfriendlies ( :p ) easy information of the number of targets a radar track represents.

( when you get closer to the radar, it's easier to see the return signal from multiple planes, besides, some anti air systems got a nice future with ir cameras to help with that as well )

I dont know about close, but apart from a formation you could probably also use the "Stay back" order ( 1, 3). This way it would be less likely they crash into you while flying because they would be a bit further behind you while in formation. For turns and such I mean.

You could maybe try "line formation", but have your left plane in "advance" and your right plane in "stay back". That just might look like a echelon right formation with a bit better spacing...
