Hello gents:

Just wondering if there is any way the formations of aircraft can be tightened up at all, as they presently fly with a great deal of space between aircraft, or is this hard-coded?

It's not a major gripe, just wondering if it can be changed?

Cheers, all

Hee heee,

With the current formations, there's been a few times I've seen the AI crash half the planes when starting an engagement. I wouldn't suggest making them fly closer

Big boom!- Lots of pieces, game over

You could be right DJH, but I've noticed a marked improvement in the way the AI handles collision course with other aircraft - I fly alone!
Seriously, though, the AI seems far more intelligent in formation flight after the .9 patch, and I'm sure I once saw four Spit Vc's flying perfect finger-four - once..anybody else??
Maybe it was that funny tasting tea I was drinking?

Thanks for the replies anyhow, chaps.
Cheers - Jonners
