Hey everyone.  I just bought Harpoon Ultimate Edition, and I'm loving it so far.  A few questions:

1) How do I set waypoints for aircraft that involve orders?  For example, move to waypoint 1, turn on radar, move to waypoint 2, etc.

2) I've also noticed that my E-3 AWACS have a huge lag time in responding to orders; I haven't noticed this with other aircraft.  It can make for some dicey situations, especially in Keflavik scenarios.

3) How can I set patrol patterns for ASW aircraft?  Right now, my ASW aircraft fly to a point, drop a sonobuoy, and then just sit there.   How can I get them to drop multiple sonobuoys in a pattern (when they aren't actively ordered to attack a sub)?

1 As you set each waypoint you can use orders for  attack, speed, land and sensors. At each waypoint you can change the speed and sensor set but I believe once you used the attack order the waypoints are basically  ignored until the attack is over as when if  you gave 

aircraft a manual order which clears  the course you laid in. Land  rewrites you course order to just land. If you wish to changes orders while the unit is following your course you can by unchecking the insert box and use the next and previous buttons to highlight the 

orders in the left column. You can edit  speed and sensor  orders  or delete an order such as  having an aircraft fly to a base but not land but loiter by  deleting  the land command and set a speed command to loiter.

2 I think this is based on the handling characteristic of the aircraft  for turn and climb rate. Basically a fighter can turn and burn while a AEW, and other similar aircraft can not. Some bombers like the B1 and some Russian bombers do have turn and burn capability but 

not such as a fighter. Getting familiar with the turn rates on units can help avoid getting into those situations before hand. In the message log you can see the response time for speed orders.

3 I believe only when attacking and when set a patrol area in the formation editor will ASW aircraft conduct a  pattern without your direct control. You can not set a pattern in course orders as the manual sonobouy key does not work in it.

Hope this helps.
