Some day I want to try a coordinated B-Wing attack where the Flight Group brackets and then attacks from different directions, with one firing lasers and ion cannons to cripple the target's turbolasers, and the others letting loose lasers and torpedoes.

Oh, and Ty, since we've got a new CG coming up, maybe this thread should be renamed '3/8 Community Game' or whatever?

For long-range attacks, I maintain that flying in a 'column formation' is a good idea, as it leaves you unable to tell how many fighters you're up against. You can always break up when approaching attack range.

Well the tactic I am talking about is not being directly behind each other but in a tight overlapping formation which makes the IFF brackets unclear for enemy fighters to target, but allows you all to bring guns to bare on your target. I agree though that when you get in close it is time to break up and engage, evasive manoeuvres in that style of formation would end your battle badly real quick, but at long range it is a sound enough tactic.
