Thread: Question about mission waypoints and waves..
Depends on the mission - typically delivery type missions are likely to have endless waves of enemies. Conventional wisdom says to disable the first two waves, then rush to your waypoint.
As to your other question, no, same amount of opponents no matter how many people you bring with you.
The missions where you are told to pickup/deliver something at a wp and they attack you along the way are infinite spawns. You are meant to get where you're going, not get bogged down trying to fight. Ways to win these pretty easily are to move to the wp faster than the spawns, fast engine, or tricks like IFF scramble help. Another way is to book along, do not deviate, and have a wingman follow the spawns as they follow you, easy pickins.
Size of waves does not increase with groups
