I respectfully disagree. Unless you can find me the RAF player who will agree to flying in tight Vees instead of the more flexible Rotte/Schwarm ... I believe one can't realistically recreate historical operations simply because the absolute majority of the players doesn't know the details of said operations nor would they follow the procedures and tactics of that era when it would go against their common sense.

Military operations are being conducted by strict hierarchical entities and flight sims are a means to spend one's freetime - not to reenact historical operations. If one seeks this he'll only be able to find it offline - for the AI will do whatever he wants without moaning, whining and complaining.

That I - unfortunately - have to agree with.
