I was playing ace online the other day and got a cool idea for PS what if Outfits had the option to fly or drive in formations like tank columns and V formations there should be cumulative bonuses based on how many people are in the formation for example
V-formation 10% more damage per fighter to a max of 100% Tank column Speed increased by 5% per tank in formation to a max of 50% The bonuses should be very distinct and give a significant advantage to encourage the use of formations They could also be integrated with the outfit specialization system to enhance or open up more formations to outfits specialized in that category of warfare seeing a formation of scythes fly by would also be pretty epic in my opinion |

I share your enthusiasm for seeing flights of aircraft and columns of tanks blazing across the battlefield but artificial bonuses are not needed to make them worthwhile. The bonus for formations is already there, multiple sets of eyes watching for enemies, concentrated fire on targets and covering mates that are damaged.

Yeah the benefits of formations should be real, not random numbers.
To quote my tactics site:

Tanks travel in columns because roads are relatively narrow strips of pavement on otherwise big pieces of land (called continents). Aircraft don't dogfight in formations because flying in a predictable pattern tends to make it easy to shoot you.
That said, making roads a thing that exists and making vehicles move faster on roads would be interesting as long as they never, ever add landmines. |

i dont think it is a good idea to give bonuses to formations. since tanks were clearly covered if you would have a group of air flying in a v getting a bonus then they would have to stay i formation while firing. which would be ridiculous dog fighting and simple to shoot down for anti-air because they would all be in one spot.
