@ Sks:

Yes I did correct you in the fact that more groups are better if you are able to control
them all. That is not an opinion, rather a fact m8. I never disputed that launch patterns
were a personal preference did I? Hell I didnt even insult you. Why insult me personally
over something like that? Maybe sometimes it is better to listen to players who clearly
have more experience then you?

Notice no personal attacks yet I clearly got my point across?

^^ @v2
thanks for your ever present insight and constant correction, even when I said "its your
personal preference". You, sir, are godlike. In fact, i want to be just like you,
constantly correcting everyone's answer simply because it makes me feel better about myself.

If you couldn't tell, I'm being sarcastic.

@ Ssk: larger groups normally will win considering average skill. If you are good at
independently controlling multiple groups in a dogfight however the smaller groups
(considering equal total numbers) will have the advantage. Using 2 groups is however the
easiest.

for tb's let them reach max altitude then hold down the lower key while repeatedly
clicking towards the enemy lines.

your planes will group nice and tight for manuel tb on the surface of the water.

i also find that grouping all sqauds into one wave easy to handle. i.e. drag a green box
round all your planes.

this works for fighters too.

I find it very much to be personal preference. Usually groups of larger fighters will win
(3-3, 2-2-2, the 3-3 will usually win if both fighters are equal in level, plane, etc.).
However, going in smaller groups will be faster, but harder to control.

Split as evenly as possible between 2 or more pilots.

depends on the ship i use a lexy 4 fps 4 dbs i launch fighters in 3-3-2-2 and dbs on 5-5 then 5-5 again fighters
never more then 3 per pilot and bombers it doesnt matter there loadtime is fast

젨쟍o I am talking about how many planes should be flown by each pilot etc. That kinda thing, but I appreciate
the extra info.

alternate between flight numbers while clicking in the same spot, somewhere between the
groups. This is easiest with 2 groups but can be done with more easily when you get used
to it.

Example: 1, click, 2, click (same spot now), 1 click, 2 click, 1 click, 2 click....

for TBs and maybe fighters, Just move them around in circles and a zig zag pattern. They
will tighten up, slowly.
