This Mod changes the default formation around so that when you're a two ship, #2 is correctly on the right side of you. It also puts him out there a little bit in more of a cruise type formation, not too close.

 

Other formation changes are to wall and box formations, making them more useful. You will want to put your flight into one of these two formations in the high threat areas to maximize maneuvering and lookout potential.

 

Wall formation is a "loose deuce" formation for the two ship (section) and line abreast for the four ship (division). Spacing is about half a mile between planes. This is technically too close, but the spirit is there, and also most of the usefulness, without you losing sight of #4 completely.

 

Box is now a staggered trail formation with lead and #2 in loose deuce and #3 & #4 behind the lead section about a mile, offset to the right. Enemies who see and attack the lead section will turn in front of the trail section.

 

I added two formations, replacing "arrowhead" (useless anyway) and the "turn radar on" command with "High cover" and "Right Echelon", respectively. Readme for more details.

 

For those of you who downloaded version 1.0, please download this one and replace it. The added commands weren't referencing correctly.

 

Thanks to Drdoyo for getting me started.

Sixgun out.
