All this would add the the historical realism of the sim and seriosuly increase the scope/fun of missions/mission building.

This could be done in European Air War. It's a very old sim but it had one of the best command structure interfaces i've seen. For example, you could tell parts of your flight to "target bombers" or "target fighters" and they did just that. They
selected the targets, but they didn't break off and attack until you told them to.
There was a lot more cool stuff you could do with them, like attacking bombers in a line abreast formation before breaking off, sending some of them to occupy the fighters while the rest of the flight took on the bombers and so on. I have the original disc and manual lying around, maybe i could upload the html document that explains EAW's command system if i get around to it. I strongly suggest copying that system or using it as a baseline guide, it was that good.
