Sir_Wulfrick -> Hold orbits for strike packages? (6/30/2018 9:40:03 PM)

OK, picture this scenario: I want to attack 3 x airfields that are a fairly long range from friendly bases. Any strike missions will definitely require tanking at least once, probably twice for the round trip to the targets and back.
The airfields are all heavily defended by SAM systems, so I have dedicated SEAD missions.
The way I want to run the mission is this:
1) Set up a tanker track just outside of enemy radar coverage. No problem with this.
2) Get all the strike missions and SEAD missions to hold in a marshalling orbit, again just outside of enemy radar range, and tank if necessary.
3) Order the SEAD missions to push on target from the hold orbit.
4) Once the IADS around the enemy bases has been dealt with, order the strike missions to push from the hold orbit.
I can pre-create the strike and SEAD missions no problem, and I would imagine that once the various missions are in the hold orbit I can simulate the push on target by assigning flight or individual aircraft if necessary to the SEAD or strike missions. What I can't successfully do though is create the hold orbit. I can create a "support" mission and assign aircraft to it, but for some reason the game automatically assumes that all the aircraft assigned to this mission should have a ferry loadout, and de-mounts all the weapons!
Is there a way to create a marshalling or hold orbit? Could I create a "support" mission which would not allow any aircraft to attack things on their own volition until I assign them to the strike & SEAD missions?
