In many cases, following the usual wartime procedure triggers the AI into landing mode. This works when landing at your designated home base (it has to have an airfield AI assigned to it in the mission editor).

What you do is that instead of simply flying an approach straight in, you overfly the field first. This also lets you see the proper runway direction to use, depending on wind. That is marked with a white T-shaped marker usually, signifying the runway (if more than one exist) and which end of it you should touch down: the landing/take-off direction is where the vertical line of the T-marker points. Then the AI gets into landing mode, they will peel off one by one and start making their individual approaches.

At that point you are free to either follow the drill yourself, or simply "overtake" your wingmen and just bring it in with a straight-in approach.
