Well,after playing multiplayer flight sims since F29 Retaliator on null modem cable I think I have seen historically correct tactics a handful of times... How many times in IL2 do you see Spits in tight vic formations looking only at the nearest wing? How many times do you see a wingman stay in formation for more than 1 minute when a battle starts? It sure happens, but in reality a wingman that left his position to chase a smoking He 111 3000 feet below more than once would have a hard time getting into the plane again accept during September 1940...

So a bit of kamikaze tank battles with people leaving the formation to go over some ridge in plain view of the enemy would not fall completely out of place?
