Why not Six?

Five per side just seems very weird. Why not six? Three wing pairs makes more sense to me. A flight, or half a squadron in many organizations. I have to think that this had to be considered. Can anyo...

    It's possibly due to map size and less chaos so to speak. A lot of competitive games or game modes roll 5v5 and seems to be the ideal numbers in a competitive environment where people can communicate really well. The bigger the teams the more chaotic things tend to be and less organised which is usually better for a more casual game mode. But I think 5v5 happens to be the sweetspot for this game because you know there will be a lot of communication in this game with pro pilots.

@Mithrilynn Why not 20v20? 5v5 is an easy, round number, as well as keeping the games small and easy to find. As Carbon said, its a sweetspot.

    I wouldn’t want any more than six. I absolutely get that you can’t have too many to communicate effectively. I have been doing these kinds of games for a long time also.  It’s just my opinion right now (and playing squadrons may change that) that having three wing pairs would allow a little more cohesiveness as well as obviously more flexibility.
