F2 Engage...
The Engage options allow you to direct your wingman to attack a specific type of target. After issuing
the order, the wingman will attempt to locate the specified target type and attack it.
F1 Engage Ground Target. Wingman will attack any enemy ground unit it can locate.
F2 Engage Armor. Wingman will attack any tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and armored
personnel carriers it can locate.
F3 Engage Artillery. Wingman will attack any tube artillery or multiple rocket launchers
that it can locate.
F4 Engage Air Defenses. Wingman will attack any enemy anti-aircraft artillery and
surface to air missile units that it can locate.
F5 Engage Utility Vehicles. Wingman will attack all supply, transport, fuel, power
generation, command and control, and engineering units it can locate.
F6 Engage Infantry. Wingman will attack hostile infantry units. Note that the infantry
units are very difficult to detect unless they are moving or firing weapons.
F7 Engage Ships. Wingman will engage enemy surface combatants. Note that most
surface combatants are heavily armed and that the P-51 is not well-suited to attacking
such targets.
F8 Engage Bandits. Wingman will engage enemy any fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft

F3 Engage With...
Whereas the F2 Engage command allows you to give basic orders for your wingman to attack a
target type, the F3 Engage With set of commands not only allows you to determine target type, but
also the direction of attack and what weapon type to use. This is done in a tiered manner by first
selecting target type, then weapon type, and finally the attack heading. The wingman will then
attempt to locate targets of the specified type and attack them according to your specified weapon
and attacking heading. While the F2 Engage options are fast to issue, the F3 Engage With options
provides much greater control.
