Opps. Thinking.... There is a problem: The way CFS2 code runs (at least thatīs my opinion from what I have experienced) you canīt have even a single wingman with you if you are not at the start of the runway and start at full speed and donīt stop until you are airborne. Because once you make your firsts meters, be them part of a take off run or just a move of your plane from dispersal to runway, CFS2 will interpret that you are taking off and will send your wingman on his own take off run at full speed, so it will smash his propeller through your plane and both go Kaboom!! Or if it doesnīt collide with you (you need to get your aircraft out off your wingman path) it will try to take off from the virtual runway in whatever direction it points through the airbase. It may succed but it will look ackward.
But it can be usefull for an intruder action, usually flown alone. You start at dusk in a Mosquito or Ju-88 and go fighting at night over bomber bases in England or Germany. Here again we run against CFS2 code limitations: AI gunners, be them behind an airborne machine gun or land based AA canon, have the same accuracy at night than in daylight, while the flyer has his vision limited at night. And making DPs specifically for this kind of mission itīs ...well, too much.
