Two squadrons of 16 fighter jets divided into four formations, each formation containing two pairs of two-plane formations.
In traditional aerial combat tactics, the two-plane formation is the standard lineup.
However, during the Boi War, the Empire Air Force discovered many flaws in the two-plane formation and took the initiative to adjust aerial combat tactics.
Among the several formation methods that emerged at that time, the most famous was the three-plane formation, with one lead plane and two wingmen.
According to statistics from the Empire Air Force, during the Boi War, three-plane formations accounted for sixty percent of the combat achievements, while traditional twin-strike formations accounted for less than twenty percent.
What's more, the loss rate of three-plane formations in aerial combat was less than half that of two-plane formations.
