It's possible in the FMB. I don't remember the exact process, but it's pretty simple. Set up a TB-3 SPB and I-16 SPB with a couple waypoints each. Then by clicking "set" and positioning the green target indicator, the I-16s will be set to spawn with the TB-3.
It's also possible in an online dogfight. The players select their respective aircraft, and the I-16s simply taxi under the Tb-3's wings, press "Attach/Detach Aircraft" and raise their gear.
In FMB set them up the way you'd set planes to take off of a carrier--have the I-16 waypoint target set to the TB bomber. They have to be the SPB versions of the I-16 and TB by the way.
You can have the Tupolev bomber drop the I-16's automatically which is useful if you have a flight of I-16's, but it's a bit tricky, what I've done in the past is give the bombers an attack ground waypoint with the target set on an enemy vehicle like a truck or car or whatever, the bombers will release the I-16's over that vehicle usually.
It's fun messing around with the SPB planes whether you have them as enemies attacking your base or if you're flying as one.
Well you do need the FMB if you want to make use of this for single player missions. It's quite possible... it looks very cool as well!Originally posted by na85:
Yeah no need to use FMB. Just taxi up to the aircraft and hit detach/attach aircraft if you're in the right position you will attach.
We tried doing it in mid air, but no dice.

How do you get your I-16 to mount-up like this?
That would be a good co-op idea.
You could have three pilots and some gunners all on the same team. Very cool.
We fly this scenerio quite often. Usually with unlimited ammo and three bombers and six fighters. With twenty guys online this is hilarious.
Join us on a Saturday and you can try it yourself.![]()

Sounds like a plan. Soon as I work out the bugs I'll check it out.
