Extracting the squad names and assign them to each side is quite boring when you try to build a parser. There are other solutions to this, but that should change some of the things needed on campaign mission build.
I'm also dealing with this issue with the development of a third party app I'm working on. My solution will be to check what plane type the user is using. Since on all team based realistic servers I've seen, or will join, one can only use aircraft that belong to the side in question. I.e. Luftwaffe planes = blue side.

Don't have to check every single model out there, the model line is enough. For example, if the string contains "Ju-88", "Bf-110", "Spitfire" it can be any of the different model variations of those lines of aircraft.
