I'm not too far into the XWA campaign, however while playing quick skirmishes in the simulator I noticed some discrepancies concerning the wingmen commands:
-The manual mentions the "defend my target" and "watch my six" commands for the defensive sub-menu. Both commands are missing in-game.
- When selecting "Help me out" for the whole squadron, the command is only acknowledged by the first ship in the squadron (One). If the ship is dead, nobody else acknowledges this command when given to the whole squadron. You have to give it indivudually to a single wingman.
- The same happens when selecting Squadron - Status - Report in, only the first ship reports its current orders, the rest are silent.
- The command "loosen formation" (8) in the formation sub menu doesn't seem to have any effect.
I'm wondering what's the deal here? It should't matter all that much from a gameplay perspective, but it seems strange.
