Rangoon Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 When I give the command "Hold Position" to my wingman, he climbs and starts orbiting (Ka-50). He's extremely exposed this way, which is the opposite of what I'm after. What I expect him to do is to stay put, either maintain altitude from where he was, or possibly get lower to hunker down behind cover/concealment. How do I get the behavior I'm after?

Holton181 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 For what I know you can't. The way "hold position" is implemented is basically towards fixed wings, circling around the vicinity of the holding point. Have always been like that, been criticized before but never corrected by the devs. Like other bad habits of helicopter AI behaviors.

thrustvector Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 if I need to do that I tend to try and do it say before the time you need him too. like for example just before a waypoint, then use rejoin or whatever to get his help with attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Ka-50 flight member hold position command used to work. It was built specifically for the Ka-50 and not for airplanes. It existed before DCS World was even invented. It has been broken for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederf Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Yes, it used to work. Then when you told them to hold position the buggy behavior was they would slowly drift in a straight line. This circling behavior is new to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This circling behavior is new to me.It's been like that for very long. I don't remember it have ever worked, but I seldom bothered about my wingmen in the early days, that's most likely why I don't remember.
