I HIGHLY doubt this game will have 32 players
For a few reasons , first reason is that 505/1c games are not going to be throwing that kind of money around for dedicated servers for thousands of people, currently the only people using dedicated servers on consoles is sony , and they are only doing it to make the PSN appear superior to XBL and they are losing ALOT of money by doing this.
The other reason is that 32 players flying around would get old fast. And historically dogfights were only around 4-6 planes encountering each other.
Dedicated servers are really a stop gap for current online gaming. At some point in the future internet speeds will reach a point where you will be able to host 32 player matches peer to peer. But as of right now cable is the current type of internet in use so its 16 players.
