This maneuver was also known as a "Lufbery Circle" or "Defensive Circle" and was commonly used by pilots of slower and less-maneuverable fighters when attacked by superior aircraft.
During WW2, defensive circles were used by RAF Defiants attacked by Bf-109 during the Battle of Britain, P-40/Kittyhawks attacked by Bf-109s during the North Africa campaign, and by F4F attacked by Zeroes during the early phases of the Pacific War (until USN pilots discovered the vastly superior "Thatch Weave"/"Beam Defense" tactic).
The problem is that IL2 currently doesn't allow you to order AI planes to perform tactics based on section/rotte, flight/kette, or squadron.
I'd be happy if you could just command your wingman to take over the lead, or act as bait for a simple "drag and bag" 2 vs. 1 set-up.
