Rather then try to include a limited selection of formations in the game, allow players to create there own and make them exportable files as are aircraft skins and missions. That alone greatly expands the possibilities for much more epically scaled missions. Such as the London blitz campaign or simply the recreation of a red star formation with a flight of Yaks for a victory parade over Moscow, for example.

Excellent idea and impressive work for showing what you are looking for. Something similiar to this was requested long time ago by me and others, but also for being used with fleets (combat and transport fleets), armor divisions, and so on. But i think nobody thought of exporting them as an exportable file that you can use and send to friends or download from the web.
I call that great thinking!

Hope we also get what we want with this!

Nearly perfect smoke Oleg, good enough for ME!! LOL!!

BUT I hope Stuka tactics are up to par. In IL2, stukas just fly till they die, in the original BOB, Stukas would turn into attackers, and use it's slow speed to out stall fighters etc.

Nothing worse than a beautiful looking aircraft with BAD AI!
