True.
I was thinking more along the lines of bomber formations, where experienced pilots could keep formation better, which led to better defensive fire coordination. Also, really raw pilots, like Japanese kamikazes, allegedly had trouble keeping any sort of formation.
Of course, if DT wants to develop the AI to simulate formations and tactical doctrine for each air force for each year of the war, I won't complain!
