JG13Wulf Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Hello, Is it possible to add the Schwarm formation pattern in the formation selection ? It's an opposed finger four used by german during ww2. Instead of right hand finger four they were more commonly flying left hand "finger four" as the number 2 was often placed on the right of the leader for each flight. No 1 in front No 2 on right No 3 on left No 4 on left of number 3 Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belly Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Hello, Good idea for such request to have another formation pattern :thumbup: Not sure about a typical reverse way, the reversal of the formation pattern in an important turn was used, however German used also a "3D" pattern with altitude difference: https://dingeraviation.net//bf109/bf109tactics.html Belly Edited April 26, 2020 by Belly Bf 109 K-4 / Fw 190 A-8 / Spitfire LF Mk.

Point is to have no plane trailing behind cuz that would be the one getting shot down first when getting jumped from behind. Also they invented some new method of turning in formation. I think Ronald Reagan explained it on Youtube :D Kein Anderer als ein Jäger spürt, Den Kampf und Sieg so konzentriert. Das macht uns glücklich, stolz und froh, Der Jägerei ein Horrido!
