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 anyone think of a reason why five might be preferable?

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.

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.

I'd also have preferred a half-squadron of six (two flights of three or three wing pairs), although I'd have loved a full squadron of 12 with four flights of three or 6 wing pairs even more (at the very least for co-op).
However, I think it's mostly due to technical limitations on consoles as well as the thought it may not be as easy to coordinate for more people. Wasn't a problem with the old X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, though.

After Battlefornt 2, which forced you to have a large teams of Friends or Lose, Im looking forward to 5 person teams.
Hopefully, I get good enough where I can take on 5 person (so-so teams) All by myself .

It would work if you have 1 Squadron Leader and 2 Flgiths. This is one way to approach it if you are part of an organised group playing together.
