Of course trying to do this solo is like flying a single 109 vs 8 spits and asking for best tactics to win.
AI is too cowardly to attack flak, or even to drag their attention flying through, to the target area.

I don't understand how sometimes you're supposed to attack these enemy bases. The AI is too cowardly, and most of the time they "glide bomb" with mathematical precision, from high altitude - far away, with their dive bombers or fighter bombers.

You order them to strafe these flak guns, so that the mission can be fulfilled (ground airplanes destroyed, vehicles destroyed etc...) but they refuse order and fly home! So, yes this happens in vanilla campaigns more or less.

But I suppose you could just go with the formation and get a few ground kills, better than nothing.
