Is there a particular reason why the XV FC is divided into sqdns and VIII FC is in groups. It seems strange to me for the fact that during the war the group was the basic unit in the ETO.

Any thoughts?

Most likely if the Med units were grouped it would limit your escort capabiltiy. Bust them into squadrons gives you great flexiblity. Also all the German air force is in and around Germany, there's not much in the Med, so squadrons will do. But ramrods to Germany from the Med will take all your 15AF squadrons or your gong to lose heavies. Basically a playability issue.

that is how I see it also, playbalance

we got some of the testers around from the BTR days maybe they remember what was going on and why the change was made ?

I believe it was changed, as the parent FG's are in the database still
