Group formations information.

[tater]

Wierd. Did a 3 column version. Random group was (duh) 1,2,3,4,5,6.

Came out:

^
| heading UP


5---1---6
.
2---3---4

Leader is 1 in all cases. Next I need to test leader variation on the layout.

Wonder if larger classes are in the middle...
Made another with ships 2 and 5 as DDs.

random group unit order 1-->6, in game formation:

5---1---6
.
2---3---4

The leader is always the middle ship. I made the same mission above, but changed a DD to Iowa. When the 1st BB was leader it was in the middle, when iowa was leader (though not the first unit in the group), it became the middle front ship.

NM BB as leader:

4---1---2
.
5---3---6

Iowa leader (still group ship #2):

4---2---1
.
5---3---6

Changed the CVE that was unit number 6, last on the list to an Eclo PT boat:

4---2---1
.
6---3---4

Seems to like littler ships left. Group leader ship always in the middle.
