Inside the one big formation we may have different types of small formations (don't know how to say it right in English).

Enough said for now... too early to open all playing cards

This clarify a lot. For what i understand, now on the FMB we can put in a single flight up to 40 aircraft, and the aircrafts will automatically separate in diferent types of formations.

Thanks for clarifying my question. I was going to edit my original post but Oleg had already answered, and I took his answer to mean that the formations were still limited to 4 aircraft.

This is very good news. Imagine leading a squadron of 16 fighters on a fighter sweep

Oleg takes the other hand out from behind his back...bam
to all the clowns that said this looked like IL2. LOL
It is a great contrast between the 109(looks like an unweathered scale model) and the Hurricane, (looks like a picture, only the quality of the shot gives it away)
I imagine with a quick look, 80% of people would think that was a picture.

Now all the smoke experts come out.
