Finger Four- and Vic formation

In the sim there is a command for the Vic-/V-formation.

It is maybe a relic from ROF and has its purpose there (Vic was invented during WW1).

 

However, during WW2 the Finger Four formation was more common in fighter units.

The Germans used Finger Four since the Spanish Civil War, and Britain, USA and Japan from 1941.

The Soviets started using it 1942/43.

 

Letting fighters fly in V-formation in Bodenplatte would not be historically accurate.

 

I would be very happy to see a Finger Four formation command be added to the sim.

Thanks a lot for your attention!
