Remember that's the bombers only, you then have to add the escorts and RAF fighters which brings the total to 60 - 70...

it sounds like COD will have the same limit on aircraft numbers as IL2 , ie - 128 aircraft ( 4 flights of 4 Squadrons on each side).. but only multiplayer has been 100% confirmed at 128..

My point is we may not be able to increase formation sizes much more anyway, even if we want to...

I often dream that one day we'll be able to merge a game like Gary Grigsby's Battle Of Britain strategy game with a flightsim like COD...every single aircraft, pilot and unit being controlled by the a.i. or human...one day...

back on topic, the lack of big formations really becomes a pain when you start to build campaigns from 1943 onwards when you need to replicate the 8th Airforce missions or big carrier battles in the Pacific..
