Add Schwarm formation pattern

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.

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:

Afaik they just used line abreast? 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
