AI back seater should be easy to do, lets face it Total Air War simulated an entire AWAC...
I think the complexities are over estimated.
Switching between the two roles should be the goal with the Ai able to handle things as you rotate roles.
Not much fun being a pilot in the F4 when the backseater tracks, locks the target with radar (BVR) and you fly as chauffer.
When you get close it is again not much fun as a backseater as the pilot now uses his sidewinders... Mix and match would be much better than flying as a dedicated backseater or pilot.
As for game mechanics I am sure they are within the game engines grasp as radar is alreadly simulated
