Safest way to handle landing clearance in Il2 is to be in one of the following categories.
1. You are the first to return and there are no AI in a position to enter the pattern.
2. All of the AI are dead.
3. All of the AI have already landed.
Getting into the pattern with the AI aircraft is almost as much fun as playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded revolver.
AI wing men can also be a tremendous hazard when landing. I've been taken out by them and I've seen other players taken out by them as they want to fly a tight formation while you are trying to land. The result is usually the wing man impacting the ground and the explosion destroys you. Always order your wing man to land (and make sure he lands) before you attempt to land.
