2 hordes slamming together can be a thing of beauty, too bad it doesn't happen very often.

I agree.  The Pigs realized long ago that TT is the night when we have our largest turnout, and we have to have a lot of red guys for that many Pigs to kill.  We have around 65 or so members, and about a third of them will show on that night.  Nothing funner than a bunch of P40E's, 109's, 190's, Pony's (or whatever the flavor of the week is?) lifting in loose wing towards the biggest dar we can find.  Usually end up over staying our welcome and don't get to return, but definitely some of the best squad based dogfights I have had!

I stumbled over that remark and it made me curious. We hear a lot about all those multi wings squads that seem to be the norm in LW arenas.
I did not try to determine their impact in gameplay... I just wanted to know how many multi wing squads there are, and how many players are organized in them.
The result was a bit of a surprise to me:

The classification of one of the two 3-wing squads is disputable... I counted the 3 different Finnish squads as one multi-wing squads.
(Please note that I did not account for active/inactive members)

As it was my comment that got you curious.  I probably would have been better off using the term 'megasquad' as has been used in the past.  My point was those squads tend to focus inwards and are less apt to interact with the rest of the players on their side or on the other side. 

The complaints about 'not getting to fly with my squad!" in regards the arena caps, tend to come mostly from those folks as well in my opinion anyway.

AHHHH nothing like a good ol'e piggy sweep!

I look forward to the graph of CAP whines color coded by squad type affiliation.
