Waypoints
From EECH Central
This is always the first waypoint. Every single member of a flight team has to hit this waypoint, before you're able to switch to waypoint B. This is to be sure that all flight team members are airborne before starting the waypoint pattern. | ||
This is always the last waypoint. Only the flight leader has to hits this waypoint, which triggers the air traffic controller telling you what to do next. Often it's telling you to land on a designated landing spot. But sometimes it's telling to keep on a hold pattern. | ||
... | These are regular waypoints. It's not necessary to follow them closely, they're more like guidelines. Guiding through valleys, or around danger zones. | |
This is the target waypoint. Most of the time armour is located here.
The target waypoint can be located anywhere between 2 other waypoints. | ||
This is an addition waypoint by insertion missions. It tells the computer controlled helicopter to wait a bit, while the troops are getting out of the helicopter.
