Ok right, SEAD and Wild :Weasel were both terms that came after KOREA in the missile and SAM era.. so it will be a focus on setting up ground strike missions ..

I think you are still on to something good.  The AAA in this theater was deadly, and the largest threat to US aircraft.  Having a couple of guys in a flight w/ loadouts and tactics to draw fire and take out AAA could be invaluable especially as the AI improves, and I am sure something to that degree was used depending on mission even with the rigid tactics and doctrine back then.  In some of the co-op missions (38th server in particular when it was up) I have already seen some use such tactics as well.

Today my wingmen are behaving better than usual. A single attack command and they went to work after our first pass over the airfield. They all fly too high on target exit but all four stayed low with me on approach. This is with my flight set to Veteran AI.

When I switched to ACE AI my wingman (probably No3) stayed with me and a two ship broke off for their own approach just before I turned toward target.

Update version 1.2 adds ordnance recommendations for strike missions for F-80. Same link. Loving this ordnance set.
