It occurred to me that it would be useful to know the position of units within random and otherwise SH4 generated/organized formations.

I need to do more testing, but if you pick a box formation heading North, where North is up on this page, the units appear:

^
| heading UP

1---2
.
3---4

Sadly the AI formations are limited to a 2000m spacing, so accurate AI CV formations are impossible.

Still, as I get more information I will post it as a reference.

I have noticed other odd behavior in trying to get ships to act the way I'd like. There are some possible ways to force behavior, but they are ugly as hell (it involves making individual ship groups instead of "grouping" ships in the editor, yuck).
