Strike Fighters WWII Formations Mod

Strike Fighters WWII Formations Mod

Strike Fighters is a sim configured around 1960's-era aircraft, formations and tactics, generally with small numbers of aircraft and dispersed formations. The stock version actually only provides four different formations for aircraft (US fighters, US bombers, Soviet fighters and Soviet bombers), to fit all nations and time periods.

Now that we have a number of WWII aircraft in SF, I wanted to be able to see large WWII-style bomber formations and the historically-correct fighter formations. This mod is designed to achieve that. There are different WWII-style formations for most of the major WWII air powers (US, UK and Commonwealth, Soviet, Germany, Italy and Japan), for fighters, medium bombers/attack aircraft and for heavy bombers.

The zip file has a TXT file which explains installation.

Be aware that the defensive power of the larger, tighter WWII bomber formations is greater than you may be used to. Flying fighters to intercept even an unescorted large bomber formation is no piece of cake - picking off the stragglers is a lot easier and safer. Use your wingmen to break up the formation if you can.
