You're right. I'm stating it the wrong way. Ace and Veteran bombers should have an easier time keeping formation and flying at assigned distances. Average planes might straggle a bit, or very rarely accidentally collide. Rookies might straggle more and might accidentally collide with other planes in their formation if they panic.
For fighters and other single-engined planes, Situational Awareness should go down at virtually any level of skill if you're flying in tight formation. Station-keeping requires a certain amount of work. In particular, rookies often focused on keeping formation rather than looking out for danger. Looser formations should allow maximum situational awareness.
