Firstly you got your wingman, then you have the flight (4 - 6 aircraft) going directly with you, and then there may be other flights joining your attack force (under your command).... That's the differentiation.

Does that answer your question?

Actually in TW sims it's a bit weird

You: 1-1

Wingman: 1-2

Flight one: 1-1 to 1-4

Flight two: 2-1 to 2-4

Flight three: 3-1 to 3-4

Flight four: 4-1 to 4-4

 

That causes some serious inconvenience 'cause wingman is a part of flight #1 so he follows orders given to him and to some of those given to flight #1.

You really have to be on the ball sometimes to specifically give orders to your wingman.

Yes, i guess.

I usually try to pick a specific target(usually the primary target) and order my wingman to attack it.

Then order the flight or flights to attack something else.

If you have a 4-ship formation:

You:1-1

Wingman:1-2

2nd Section: 1-3 and 1-4(first flight)

If you have more than 1 flight:

Second flight:2-1,2-2,2-3 and 2-4

Third flight: 3-1,3-2,3-3 and 3-4 etc.
