AI spawning has already improved a lot compared to SP1, now there are 2 AI teams. Friendly and Enemy. However, what can't be done yet, is to give a player AI-controlled wingmen in a dogfight.
So, the ability to change the team of a player in multi, with several teams - best would be an IFF code-like system where you can type in your team code as a string (for non-programmers; basically a text of any kind). This would allow for infinite teams; players and AI with differing IFFs would be enemies to each other, additionally, IFF 0 should be a Neutral team.

#

So how this would work, is... You'd get an input field where you can type in your "IFF code", then uh... You can tell this code to players you want on your team, they copy it, paste, now they're all on the same team. You should also be able to spawn AI aicraft with the same team code.

Anyway like... We could also get a more easy to understand, but more primitive system where there's only a set amount of teams you can join but... I'd prefer there were unlimited combination.
Say if we want one team per each player in the lobby cuz we want everyone to have an AI wingman - bold because it might lag, but who knows, it might even work - the string based system I proposed would be able to do it.
