A ground controller that waves or a radio message that you're clear would do the trick, or canopies that open. But I don't see those appear in any official version of the game anytime soon.

You know you can hit brakes, open some throttle, and kick rudder. That makes your plane turn and you can see what is in the front of you. I was asked can I do that before my first SEOW mission. I said I can. I was ordered to do it, which I did.
Now the problem seems to be that you fly with people who don't know the basics or just lack the discipline needed. I suggest you to join in some very great squadron where things are teached and which doesn't lack the discipline.
If you don't know what to join, just join in =69.GIAP= and they will teach you everything and you can enjoy disciplined group takeoffs in SEOW missions like I did once in the first plane on the runway as a rear gunner of IL-2. I saw plenty of fighters behind my plane, and they all swiveled 40 degrees to the left like some group of highly trained soldiers. After that the IL-2 taxied out of the runway to the taxiway to wait for fighters to take off first, and I watched one by one each fighter swiveling back and taking off. Was awesome to watch many La-5FN and Yak-9U doing it! With some kind of sucky God Modes much would had been left unseen.
(Not pointing and blaming anyone. Play as you enjoy the game the best, but don't blame the game and difficult realism settings of the lack of training and disorganised undiscplined pilots. Wise men see the real problems and work on them.)
Edit: I don't fly anymore for =69.GIAP= and I don't represent them in any way.
