I've never seen anything exactly like this and wonder if it could be developed.
I'd like to see an online coop missions only server.
Historical type missions that have slots for bombers and escorts with opposing scramble/intercept missions.
The slots are initially filled by AI but each joining human player replaces one AI. The missions automatically launch at say every 30 minutes.
A player logs in and can join the next mission and wait for launch time or can join the current mission in progress if there are AI slots still open. They would just spawn in and replace the AI plane wherever it is, even in flight.
This would give players a chance to fly in large missions whenever they wanted to. I know folks prefer to play against other humans but since the AI could be replaced by humans at anytime you would never know what you were going to run into.
You would log in, choose a side, Allied for example and then you would get a screen like this.
