Mossie bombers did use formations at times, so I think the option should be there.  It is up to the player to decide which risk is best.

Also, the Mossie bomber's first line of defense wasn't manueverablity, it was speed.  It is very hard for even a Bf109K-4 to intercept a Mosquito formation that is at 25,000ft moving 300-400mph when the Bf109K-4 is starting from rest on an airfield at 1,000ft.

In AH most would not be able to plan far enough ahead to intercept a Mossie formation.

.... Which is probably another reason why they won't get formations....

It's like that with the bombers we already have in-game. Late-model Mossquito would be much worse.

Main reason the formations were added at all was carpet bombing. Also note we got big sprawling towns about the same time (not cities, airfield towns), which you need to carpet bomb to take the field.

Mossquitos (even if some flew in formation -- hell every plane in the war flew in formation!) were not carpet bombers. They were the opposite of that. They just didn't operate with the "Wipe out the entire city" mindset.


Shouldn't get formations, especially considering they'll be "almost uncatchable" (yes, any plane is catchable, I realize)
