In BVR combat sorting targets with your wingmen is very useful because the entire enemy flight can be downed in a single attack and no missiles are wasted on a target that has already been fired upon.
The simplest sorting in a 2 vs 2 or a 4 v 4 is that I attack the closest enemy, my wingman attacks the next most distant, etc. A more complex attack is when my flight is larger than the enemy flight (2v1, 3v2, 4v2...). In that case, the extra planes support the attack, and if one of our attacking planes has to go defensive, the supporting plane can take over his target and continue the attack.
The problem is that manually designating targets and sending "engage my target" commands one by one can be very slow or sometimes impossible and sending a plain "engage bandits" is like "pick your own targets and shoot", and can end up with all the wingmen shooting at the same target while the rest of the enemy flight goes unharmed and shoots back...
Anyone knows a good solution for this? Thank you:)
