This is all IIRC, but aircrafts are pretty independent during takeoff. There is some preference for leader to start first, but not too big. In my tests on another similar feature I get number 2 taking off first most of the time. Individual aircrafts are mostly concerned about free path for takeoff and they probably want too much clearance. So in principle this is more of a problem of synchronizing aircrafts during takeoff. We are interested in making them more synchronized, so we will definitely look into it. It is not considered to be a dealbreaker, though.
