IL-2 AI doesn't have that level of sophistication, nor does it have any ability to command AI by voice.
There should just be more command options for AI. For Example: Attack-->Ground-->Tanks-->7'o clock. Then your wingman/flight/squad would try to locate tanks in that direction and attack.

Would be useful for attacking enemy airfields - now you have to be in FlaK range until you can tell them to attack FlaK. With the command Attack-->Ground-->FlaK-->12'o clock given a few kilometres before reaching that base the whole flight could attack simultaneously - thus giving the FlaK more targets to chose from and possibly decimating FlaK opposition in the first attack.

Or if encountering two flights of enemy planes on different bearings advise them to try to attack the more dangerous one first or or....
