You can only command them to return to base if you are the flight leader. I hate being the flight leader as one of my passions is to fly in formation with the other planes. If you're leader the others form up on you, not you on them. So in the latter case you can't really test your formation flying skills. I just enjoy staying sharp at flying by attempting to maintain perfect formation with the other planes. And over the years I have flown formation in every type of plane that is flyable. Some are tougher than others. Try to stay in formation in the Me-262 and you'll see what I mean, because constantly throttling up and down has to be done with great care or else, lest you explode or set fire to an engine. That 262 is a tough one for formation flying. Others are difficult due to massive torque. Some are really easy.
