Im currently trying 2500m 375 kph unlinked to target and the droop snoot is "A" flight and "E/I" flights are 4 each p-38L05. At target the droop starts a very shallow dive to about 1800m and the others are klinked to it and do likewise, they go into line astern and drop just fine but after that i loose control of them, maybe due to enemy fighter intercept etc.

Puzzling but im keeping in mind p-38 is a fighter not a level bomber, so far so good, just a bit tricky to control as flight leader when half stays with you and half goes after enemy fighters. More tinkering is in order. I will try the higher altitude. Thanks for your quick reply and good advice.

One trick to control fighter bombers in ground attack missions is to give them a ground attack waypoint right after their target, some distance away with no enemy targets below (like on the way back to base). This will keep them in "attack" formation all the way to the next waypoint, and they won't stray off to find new targets. Another thing to remember is that a ground attack waypoint, even one linked to a specific target, orders the group to destroy all enemy objects within a radius around that point (or the specific target), so they'll keep attacking until everything is destroyed. If you don't want them to go in for a second run, there should be just enough targets to kill on the first attack, and at least a few hundred meters around them with no other enemy targets.

Cheers,
