- Player wingmen will switch from follow to return to base if player lands at a base.

Wingmen menu when outside an airbase or in the air
Wingmen menu when landed at an airbase
Wingman menu has been added to the cockpit menu accessable with the right B button. It consists of a list of wingman in your flight and buttons for enabling them to attack and sending them back to base. The buttons at the bottom will enable/disable attack on all wingmen or send all wingmen back to base. If the attack buttons are green your wingmen are clear to attack any enemy they see. If the attack buttons are red your wingmen will continue to follow you till you land. While not necessary it is advisable to send all wingmen back to base when you are returning to base. Once a wingman is sent back to base they can't be retasked.
