Jimmy, you might want to give Battle of Britain II Wings Of Valor a try. Although not an online flight sim (yet), it has a dedicated modding group, that has been busy working on it for it the last 5 or 6 years.
Squadrons have individual markings, (Bf-109 squadrons have over 300 different markings alone) and you can have litterally hundreds of planes in the air battling it out over southeast England at one time. The AI is some of the best from the novice who will momentarily freeze up to the veteran who won't give you a target to shoot at no matter how good you get.
Bombers that get damaged will fall out of formation and head for France, and lots of other cool stuff.
The downside, is that some of the graphics look older, like the terrain and water in some areas, but there are folks even working on that.
Oh yes, and even us veterans of that one get out share of being shot down. The furballs are almost impossible to get out of without bailing out, or landing a shot up plane.
