Confirmed evidence

Attack, Scatter, Cover and special-weapon orders are confirmed for a player-led squadron.

The distinction that matters

Squad composition decides what capabilities are present; orders decide where those capabilities are applied in real time. Repeated command changes may not produce useful evidence.

Decision for this scenario

Set an opening order from the briefing, change it at a clear phase transition and review which targets each wingman actually engaged.

What to do

Write down the mission objective, failure condition and hardest target class. Choose the player aircraft and special weapon for the task that requires the most precision, then use the remaining three squad slots to cover parallel pressure. Save the result after the debrief so later changes reflect actual evidence rather than memory.

What remains unconfirmed

Cooldowns, obedience, target selection and unique character behavior remain unpublished.

Prepare for giant weapons by identifying damage zones, main attacks, supporting defenses and safe approach windows instead of treating the boss as one health bar.
