Last week, the 43rd FS completed a DACT exercise at Tyndall with Vipers from the 308th FS.
First reports are in, and the Raptor did well.
There were several engagements where there would be one Raptor v. multiple Vipers. This helps showcase a single Raptor's capabilities in up to a potential 1 v. 8 combat scenario.
However, I can't say the exact max number a single ship sortie flew against. I do know that they threw several Vipers in at once to make it interesting. 
The 2 v. 2 profiles helped show the capabilities of the inter-a/c datalink. The other members of the flight will know what the other ship is seeing and it will help greatly lessen the amout of necessary communication between pilots.
As soon as I can get the press article, I will post.

The press article is a pdf file taken from Tyndall's newspaper. Click on this link and scroll to page 7. Sorry I couldn't give you a direct link. Enjoy!
