im kind of wondering how hce handles asw patrols by aircraft. I send out a p-3 or a s-3 on a patrol, and making sure the loadout is asw, and once they get to the location of the patrol, all they do it seems is fly around in circles, loitering...arent they supposewd to start a line of sonobuoys? or maybe a box MAD search? Or am i not doing something, or doing something wrong?

 

Any help or tips would be great

They are doing exactly what they are programmed to do. Making patrols do something at their patrol desitnation is a high priority item for future patches and has been under discussion for many months now within the beta team (and outside as well).

I placed this in the wish lists...

 

Being able to make a group with solely ASW aircraft. That would solve the micromanagement problem by being able to place the a/c in group patrol zones.. except the group is just the aircraft. Then you could send it wherever you want and it would search/drop sonos while travelling.
