PS, just for fun I nuked the mine field, it worked a bit too well and whole game crashed

I've tried a few chopper loadouts, ASW, ASW-LR, ASW-2 and MCM. When they are sent out alone on independant patrol (so F6 'Launch' - type 'Patrol') all fly at low alt. BUT when I put them in group formation patrol (F4) the MCM fly at mediium, the other three at low. I better look for some ASW-3 and try them? I found an ASW-3 (and for giggles a Nuke). ASW-3 flew both patrols (Stand alone and group formation) at low altband and Nuke guy did group formation patrol at medium (AEW patrol in the unit info window) and low alt for stand alone. I've no idea where I'm going with this, but it's interesting

At it again tonight and I see Enrique as you say in group formation the MCM mission choppers fly at medium altBand To make it easier to get contacts I've added NOise Makers. I've not used them before, they are certainly detected further out. I've tried some (soviet) choppers with an ASW loadout utilising DC, so small weapon range, and they seem to behave same as the mcm choppers in that if directed to attack out of weapon range they will fly past known higer unit number mines to attack the lowest unit number mine, but if within range of a mine at time they are ordered to attack they will attack that (those) mines. So I'm thinking it's not an 'MCM' thing. II'll start looking at the mission - loadout patrol altband thing.
