Patrol Option

[airwinger63]

I would like to make the recommendation to adding two additional items on the “Mission Editor’s” screen for “Patrol Option”. These would be “Prosecute hostile contacts” and “Track and monitor contacts” they could be an, either or option. In trying to create a recent scenario, an armed P-2 performing a patrol mission is assigned area would immediate try to attacked the submerged contacts upon initial contact. Now I enjoy raining MK 82s all over the enemy like the next guy, but what if you’re doing a cold war scenario? What if you want to know where all of the subs are before you start depth charging them? I know I can hold IA fire on individual aircraft, but who wants to have to keep track of aircraft being relieved on station repeatedly? Created the below as an example, what’ ya think?

With the release of build 481 and the option to now identify unknown contacts as "neutral" (and not just hostile) part of what I recommend in my prior msg is closer to becoming a possibility. What's everyone else think?
