I think we all deserve better AI.

Isn't there a "return to base" command that essentially achieves this?

Please correct me If I'm wrong.

You are correct about the return to base command, but it can only be used if you are the leader at the start of the mission.
If the leader is shot down, and you become leader then the ai will follow you (sometimes into the ground) but you can't issue commands to them.

Would be nice if it could be fixed.

It exists, but not accessible if you're not flight leader. If your leader dies, other planes follow you, and sometimes land after you do, many times die flying at stall speed without gear with you until you land/they crash. A mod solves this (frog formation mod) btw.

A request for TD's consideration in 4.11:

Request for Landing Lights to be usable and confirmed when you're on the ground and stationary? Sometimes you need them to Taxi to the runway and performa a takeoff.

I'd still love to see a flyable Typhoon Mark IB someday. Maybe in a future IL-2 release or... probably more likely... Cliffs of Dover addon.

Really I love any new content so I'm pretty much happy no matter what gets released. Bring it all on :)

Ahh, I see about the "return to base" command. It should be added to the Rottflieger menu as well. A worthy request to be sure.

Overhaul of damage modelling.

I'm probably barking into the moon I know since it would mean a gargantous amount of work, but DM in my opinion really is lagging badly behind any other major aspect of the sim in term of quality.

perfect mode for 3 displays?
 

It would be pure joy to see IL-2 in perfect mode on 3 displays without that little flickering black square at the lower left corner. SANS FoV Changer conquered the tie fighter appearance where the wings used to stick forward on the outboard monitors but it would be great to see IL-2 in perfect mode again.

Light bombs
 

German and soviet light bombs very needed for night missions.
Could you think about things like these ones:

German light bombs, for example, LC50F

Soviet light bombs (no pictures, but I'll provide all required data if you have interest):

SAB-15
SAB-25
SAB-50-15
SAB-100-55
