bomber escort - Birdtail - 09-29-2019

Flug set up an escort service (no...not that kind....I know you were thinking it).....bombers could call for AI fighter escort with the tab menu. There is only a random plane selection in the tab menu but I was sure you could request certain aircraft in the chat/server window.  I'm sure he set up a command string to select your escort type. It was all on the old server but is gone now...does anyone have or remember what the commands were?

These escorts sure are  great addition and definitely give me  more missions with a happy ending !

I have notes written on scraps of paper all over the basement,
one of them said this:
Chat window
<Clist (enter)
<Chelp (enter)
<Cover (then space then number then enter)
<Cland

I could not get it to work, was told needed command authorizetionbut it may have been Cover should be Ccover?

Dave, I have taken it out with 2 250's could maybe be done with less but it's a long flight so wanted to make sure it went up.


RE: bomber escort - Nuclear Powered - 11-07-2021

Hello,

I am newbie here, although I have played ClOD for some time (from time to time).

My question is: where can I find a list of commands for escorting planes, apart from these 4 listed above? I found that it is possible to have an escort comprised of bombers and to instruct them to bomb the same place I do. However, I am yet to manage it to work properly. My escorting planes start their bombing run only some time after I have already departed the target. As a result, we get separated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Nuclear Powered

The TWC 113 Day Campaign server has an extensive help system that you can access and utilize via the in-game chat, but for a more in-depth read you could have a look at this forum string:

There is also some information on ferrying and delivering supplies at this forum string:

And as another resource, when your on the server, you can ask for assistance. Most guys on the server will be willing to lend you a hand. Please note, these commands and "TAB" menus are for the TWC servers and will not work on any other server.

Hope that helps. If you see me online, don't hesitate to say hi. Most of the TWC pilots use discord for communications, although some use Teamspeak, and if they have the time, they may use the in-game chat.
