There are two methods that I am aware of: 1) As Stephan61 indicated, if you allocate the individual Air Group ("Squadron") to an Air Directive. The weakness with this method is that Air Groups allocated in this manner cannot be allocated to another Air Directive. This will be its sole mission. Also it means that you can only allocate specific Air Groups to the mission, ie, you cannot allocate an Air Group and a different AOG. You can allocate 2 Air Groups from different AOG's. Allocating an Air Group out of its AOG to its higher HQ can give you some flexibility here. 2) The other way is to use the Req AC(Esc) function. This allows to to designate exactly how many planes will fly. For example, a Ground Attack mission with Req AC(Esc) set to 24(12) means 24 Bombers fly and 12 Escorts fly. The weakness of this method when combined with AOGs is that the AI picks the planes that fly from the entire AOG. Sometimes you end up with planes flying from an airfield that is at a longer range than others. You can also Rest specific Air Groups in an AOG so that they will not fly any mission. Again, allocating an Air Group out of its AOG to its higher HQ or another AOG can give you some flexibility here.
