Is there an optimal size for airwings?

[Herr B.]

I normally organize it in stacks of 200, but this has no particular reason other than that airfields are build in stacks of 200 as well.

Is there an optimal size for airwings?

Depends what you're optimizing for.

Farming aces? the absolute smallest wing you can have while still having them fly missions, after mission efficiency reduces the plane count.

Using aces? 10.

Not having literally hundreds of wings to control? biggest wing ever.

So a max of ten aircraft in a single airwing? Interesting. I usually go with 50 but 10 doesn't sound bad...

I like using units of 100 to keep it manageable and to be able to fit wings in any airbase. If I need the edge in air combat though I'll split them twice into size 25 wings to farm some aces.

i like to use a system of progressively making my air wings bigger as the game goes along and my production of air grows.

start out at 10 to farm some aces

then 25

then 50

and then 100 to make it easy to manage lategame when you can have an airforce of 5k+ easy

 

[Question]

Since you can easily hit 10k+ fighters in the late game, yo would need 100 wings of 100 fighters each to manage....thats just so awful....
