You can use the Formations feature to team up with your squadron mates and fly into battle together. Formations let two players from the same squadron join forces in a duo and coordinate their tactics on the battlefield.
How does it work?
To start, open your squadron chat. If the Formations feature is unlocked for you, you’ll see the designated “Formations” button – tap it to create a lobby. As the lobby host (formation leader), you can invite one of your squadron mates to join you as a wingman.
Once your squadron mate accepts the invitation, the two of you will be placed in the same lobby. From there, both the formation leader and the wingman need to confirm their readiness. Only when you’re both ready can the leader launch the battle.
Before creating a lobby, it’s a good idea to coordinate with your squadron in the chat about which game mode you want to play and which planes you plan to use, as these need to be set up in advance.
After the match ends, the lobby closes automatically. If you’d like to fly together again, simply create a new lobby and send another invitation.
Why are formations not available for everyone?
Formations are already part of the game, but they are not available in all regions yet. Don’t worry – the feature is still being expanded and improved, and there are high chances that new regions will be added in the future updates.
On top of the region limitations, there are also some additional settings and adjustments aimed to provide a smooth and fair experience for everyone, so sometimes it may be possible to create a formation only with some members of your squadron.
Why can’t I invite all my squadron mates?
Sometimes the “Invite” button may be unavailable, or certain players can’t be invited. The most common reasons are:
Your squadmate hasn’t updated the game to the latest version yet.
The system detects they are too far away geographically, which could cause unstable gameplay.
A squadmate hasn’t logged in recently, so their data isn’t up to date.
In these cases, you’ll see an information that this member can’t be invited.
