Great Picture, BMathis
All four flights should warp back to base at roughly ten and a half minutes. You could be just about to get a kill (or killed) and *poof* you're back in formation approaching the crosswind segment of the landing pattern. If you kill the enemy quick you could be waiting a while for the warp.
It would be nice to make the warp automatic after the enemy flights are vanquished, or perhaps to warp on demand to the next way point, but these features do not exist.
Did the mission work as designed, or did something unexpected happen?
