Confirmed evidence

Official material confirms air, ground and giant-target combat plus fighter, attacker, multirole and electronic-warfare categories. Squadron composition allows those roles to be combined before sortie.

How to make the decision

Choose a multirole player aircraft when target changes are frequent, or choose a specialist player aircraft and let wingmen cover the opposite class. The mission’s failure condition matters more than raw target count.

Practical procedure

Separate mandatory and optional targets, identify the hardest class, assign at least one reliable answer to each mandatory class and preserve a command option for sudden pressure.

Attack vs Cover Wingman Orders

Use attack to direct wingmen onto a priority target; use cover when threats around the player make survival and freedom to attack the real bottleneck.

Scatter vs Cover Wingman Orders

Scatter lets wingmen engage at will across the fight, while cover concentrates them around the player’s immediate survival and attack window.

Special-Weapon Order Timing

The special-weapon order tells wingmen to switch to equipped special weapons and attack, so timing should match the target class those weapons were selected to solve.
