Great flying tonight. It was a lot of fun. Sithis did a great job as AFAC. Airplane and weapon handling is pretty solid by now (with the occasional mishap that is ).
Anyways, with a human AFAC and a formalized radio procedure for tasking it starts to feel like we know what we are doing. What we could still improve is flying as a team and in formation. This time we flew pretty much individually.
I think the critical thing is to stop copying the tasking by every plane. While copying we fly heads down, so the formation usually breaks up during that phase. If only the lead airplane would copy, the wingman could just concentrate on staying with the leader. Then the wingman could cover during the attack run and look for threats.
So much for my debriefing this time. Hope to see some more people next time
