Wingmen cannot be commanded in X-Wing. They behave on their own. You can get wingmen that are much better then the ones normally assigned. There is a pilot called "topace" he or she is the best the AI can be and you can assign him or her to any craft in the game shortly before take off. Be warned however that if this pilot is killed you will lose him or her fore-ever. Even in other campaigns you start with different pilots.
