Being my wingman!

Maybe because he is always a non-HA?
He has a special little title in the Duty Room screen so you notice him more?
I fly like a damn maniac or something?

Not sure what it is but I go through them like grease through a goose!

Yep, I used to have the same exact troubles keeping most of my non-HA pilots alive with me longer than 5 missions. Sent you a PM.

LOL
Same Experience here, too.
I have seen them pursuing burning Wrecks, falling from the Sky quite often (maybe, they are all over-eager to get the Kill... last Bullet counts). They gain too much Speed and often misjudge the Distance, that's left, before they hit the Ground... and then they do :-S

Is "Wingman" just a left over CFS3 title or does he somehow act differently then the rest of your AI flight mates?

I have the Feeling that he keeps sticking to you a whole lot better than the Rest of the Squad, when Things become ugly...

Yes, I think Nietzsche is correct. I've especially seen this behavior when I get lost from the rest of my squad usually after a multiplane dogfight (of course only happens about 90% of the time). And here comes my wingman right behind me to accompany me the whole distance back to base. Call me crazy, but it's cool and kindda gives a warm feeling in the heart that you got a buddy up there watching your back. ready

Yeah, I often feel like I am in a never ending Clint Eastwood movie the way I go through wingmen...maybe if they stopped dressing them in red shirts?


The older I get, the more I realize I don't need to be Han, Luke or Leia. I'm just happy to be rebel scum...

I thought the deadliest job in WOFF was being a Developer. They must never feel safe from the endless, crazy demands all us "fanboys" put on them. lol

I had one wingman acquire 15 kills. Then one day he flew right into a crippled EA that was down low and running away

You can really develop feelings for your mess mates, which shows you what a great game this is. I can remember a few times when one of them would get in trouble, I'd mutter "Oh no you don't" and drop what I was doing to save him.

Just last night I was flying in my Strutter campaign with my favorite Lieutenant when his engine began billowing smoke and he fell from the sky. I banked and turned to see what was going on, and he'd already turned into a flamer. No enemies, just a random malfunction gone bad.

I felt so ill I landed at the nearest aerodrome and turned things off for awhile.

I hated seeing my best DiD wingman fly right into a duck, I'd always left the ducks to him and flown cover.
Had three get to 10-13, only one at 15 and then he self destructed on an easy duck I'd seen him finish off before.
