Ship/Formation relative air patrols

[Philshaw]

Did originally post this in Steam forums but figured might have a better hance here.

I have spent a reasonable amount of time googling the hell out of this, there is a lot of "chaff" on youtube in the way. If there is a way in the game it does not seem intuitive but I have only just got the game.

So in short, something I used to do back in the days of Harpoon (and I thought CMNO) How do you ...

Set an air patrol, be it CAP, ASW or whatever at a distance x on say a South West to South east bearing relative to my formation of ships ?. In effect in Harpoon iirc you used to be able to set aircraft top patrol a segment relative to the group of ships.

Sorry if I have missed an answer to this, I am NOT after fixed RP's in short.

Sorted actually, found the ability to make ref points relative to a formation.

I literally just posted the same question a few days ago....

I too was trying the same thing and remember doing it a specific way in Harpoon. Most functions are darn near identical!! But not this....have a look at the answer and if you need more help, reply back.

Good luck!
