Request help settings?

[warthog64 89]

I've been playing this game for 20 years. Yeah 20 years. I was just wondering if there is a way to change what fighter type is the standard type available when you request help. Yeah I've searched around the forum; I've come across answers that aren't really related. These forum discussions are from 2008, If I've missed the topic that answers my question I apologize. I've never really needed this info, but I've since really enjoyed flying bombers (so I get blasted apart by interceptors). Please just asking anyone if there is a way to edit this, I play this game rarely now when I have the time, so I don't really have a lot of time to figure this stuff out. Thank you to all the support I've gotten from this site since I was a teenager. Long live Combatace and all the wonderful founders of this site who have helped me for nearly 20 years.

It is easy, when selecting the mission, use the editor that the same simulator brings to select an escort and which model you want to escort you, you can also look at the different opponents

There appear to be only two options for generating a help flight in the Mission Editor. They are Not Available and Generate Randomly. It does not appear that you can change the type available. See the attached pictures.

If you need help with the interceptors then do as the person above suggests and assign an escort to your flight. You can also have a sweep mission go in before you get to the target.

Thank you Torno and Righteous

Get fighter sweep instead in mission editor, as escort is not really working as escort...more like target of oportunity...so escort will even engage ground targets. Then you are screwd too.
