So for our Battle of Britain campaign, each RAF player has a three plane section since the RAF was flying in a Victory "Vic" formation and each Luftwaffe player has a four plane schwarm since the Germans used a Finger Four formation. I know the RAF and later USAAF adopted the Finger four and organzied their squadrons as such after the lessons learned on the Battle of Britain.
My question is in early war, what did other countries us as a base formation? I believe that the Japanese were organized into a used a three plane shotai and the U.S. Navy and USAAF flew in pairs and later developed the Thatch Weave to counter the Japanese.
Did the Italians, French and Soviets also fly in three plane Vic formations until everyone adopted the Finger Four by late war?
