A group of two aircraft shouldn't be any more detectable than a single aircraft. Larger groups do have a negative effect on detectability. That's what I thought as well. quote:
Not sure why you had bad luck with groups of two, other than to say that (1) the enemy air defense system (IADS) in the "Hot Rocks" scenario is pretty dense; (2) the F-117 is not invisible; and (3) there are means of detection other than radar. What surprised me was that it was at the edge of the radar coverage at night (high alt) with no enemy planes in the vicinity. 4 different groups of two and all got shot down immediately at different locations around Iceland. Ran the exact same attack solo (same path) and all hit and got out unscathed. No big deal, I'll probably run the scenario again just to see if I can repeat both the shoot down and the successful attack. When I do, I'll report the results. Maybe it was just weird bad luck. Subsequently I ran the SIOP scenario, I sent the B2's solo into the heart of the Kola peninsula radar coverage at night (med/high alt), hit the targets and got out no problem.
