Another Question.

Is there anyway to stop your wingmen stealing your kill off you at the last minute! It's happened I dont know how many times, it's getting to the point of swearing at the screen and being very tempted to shoot the steeling blaggards down. 5 minutes of relentless turning and fighting...hitting him loads of times but he is still carrying on...I know just a couple more and he will be down...lining him up...and BAM in shoots the wing man (nearly crashing into me) blazes away and down goes MY victim...all in a flash...must be Captain Flashard...

Oh they do do this... Only way to beat them is to get in quick...

Yup, they do sometimes jump to the head of the line.

 

I have been able get them to disengage a couple of times using Wingmen Split "S" command, but it's VERY arbitrary. It must be a precise timing issue when it works or maybe just plain circumstance; don't know. I now just basically do it now for heck of it.

 

Mostly I just give them a quick peppering to let them know "Hey, I was there first!", and fly on.
