Help with AI wingmen (IL2)

onelifecrisis · 08-24-08, 11:44 AM

Guys, how much hand-holding do IL2's AI wingmen need when you're the squadron leader? If you don't give any orders, do they just follow you around blindly, not reacting to anything until they're shot at? Or will they, for example:
- attack the ground target(s) we've been sent to destroy as soon as we're in range
- attack incoming fighters when we're escorting bombers
- land at the base when we get back

all without you having to order it?
Thanks for any help.

P.S. I'm playing DCG missions, in case that makes a difference.
