I don't know if this has been mentioned, but when you go to land and you're not the squad leader with a wingman following you, he will follow you straight to the ground and for every other landing will probably end up in the dirt, sometimes even dead. All this with no option to tell him to break off or go around to land himself. I've lost quite a few AI pilots this way and it has been the second leading killer of friendly AI wingmen. You dont get the option to tell him to go land or do something else because you're not the flight lead.

It would be nice to send an order to your wingman wether or not your the squad leader, if someone flies on your wing you should be able to direct him if he isn't able to judge for himself that flying into to the ground to stay with a plane that is attempting to land is a bad idea.

I think the best bet would be to be able to tell your wingman "we're here, start your landing routine" or at least have the entire flight acknowledge its RTB time, not follow wingman to death.
