Please could somebody explain what this skill does.

I only have wing command 2. When I formed a fleet and created a wing I expected only to be able to form 2 squads. I was able to create all 5 squads under the wing. This has left me unclear as to what the skill at level 2 gives me and what I can do.

I would be grateful for some help with this.

you can create multiple squadrons

A fleet can have a maximum of 5 wings, each wing can have a maximum of 5 squadrons and each squadron can contain a maximum of 10 players. This brings the maximum size of a fleet to 256 people (five wings each containing 5*10 = fifty players, plus five wing commanders and one fleet commander). Note that wing commanders and fleet commanders are not part of a squadron, while squadron commanders are.

to clarify if you dont have high enough skill you wont pass the bonuses downwards.

the fleet command, wing command, and leadership skills are purely about whether or not you can pass bonuses (yours or a person above you in the command chain) down to those below you in the fleet's command structure. (technically the leadership skill does also increase targeting speed...if it is being passed down)

Does this mean that whilst i can create 5 squads because i only have wing command 2 the bonus would only pass to the first 2 squads?

As far as I know, that is correct.

Not if more than 2 squads are filled.
Up to two squads: Boni are applied/passed though, more than 2 squads and no one gets your or the FCs´ boni (SC boni are still applied to their respective squads, though).

Edit:
This link covers the basics of Fleet organisation and boni.

if you want to make sure bonuses are getting passed down dont even create more squads than you can lead cause sure enough someone will join the extra squad and disable your bonuses

Wing command 2 allows you to give bonuses to a wing of 2 squads. If you have 3 or 4 or 5 squads in your wing, the additional ones past squad 2 will not get bonuses while the first 2 will.

Except as wing commander, you wont get any bonuses, except from the FC; unless theyve fixed this and I missed it.
