I personally do not have a problem with working in concert with friendly aircraft until the fighting starts.
Patrols were worked out before hand in the
Mess, in briefings and in training sessions under your Flight Lts.
Yes problems did occur with rookies, but in general pilots knew what they were doing and hand signals, wing waggles, flares etc could convey a series of meanings.
As far as the rules go unless in a serious points laden game I and my friends use the rules as guidelines rather than being written in stone. Our main objectives are to get a reasonably accurate game, which we all enjoy,and a realistic outcome, discussed over a few beers. We are not too concerned about counting the number of buttons on the pilots flying jackets.
Having fun is the thing.
Rob.
