Come on, be a man.

But.... but.... it *IS* hard . Getting these captains and pilots to act right is sometimes like trying to get a 2 year old to eat brussel sprouts. ah well, WIP, will keep trying

Thanks Miika I'll give it a try.

I'll try that as well. Thanks

My ultimate goal is to create a template script for CVSG so that they behave and respond appropriately to most attacks/enemies so that in the future, whenever a CVSG is needed in a mission, the scripts, triggers, tatics, and groups have already been worked out.

So far stuff that I need to work out is...
1. Consistent utilization of the E3-Hawkeye as its appropriate EAW platform. The CV should also re-launch a new Hawkeye appropriately whenever the current one gets shot down. Have to work out a reasonable scripts, maybe a trigger as Miika or Nzm suggested above to get the Hawkeye to fly right and then a spawn trigger with a time delay whenever the current hawkeye is downed.... maybe. It should probably always be escorted with fighter responding appropriately.
2. Appropriate use of air strikes, not just two or three fighters flying above, but maybe a trigger to spawn a figher wing of 8-10 planes whenever a enemy reaches X nm and is properly detected (either positively identified, or even just a scant ambiguous sensor contact if the threat levels are high enough). The strike group would have to be able to fly in, attack a target and then return to base afterwards. Gotta work out the triggers as well.
3. Escorts that act like escorts. Shouldn't be too hard, but sometimes I see the DG and CG actually going the other way from the CV they are supposed to be escorting! , WIP

hm... that should probably do it for starters. Will take awhile to work it out, but hopefully will be a nice template for whenever a CVSG is needed in future scenarios. Got some campaign ideas that should be interesting and replayable.
