Better altitude controls, more responsive. Quick to dive, slow to climb.
Fighter escort duties for bomber squadrons (follow the leader)
Strafing enemy ships with machine guns and/or Short range rocket pods.
(anti ship measures would require AAW increase, or AAW immunity decrease on planes)
Rear gunners for bombers
Better control panel and audio feedback from squadrons;
"Fighter Squadron 3 low on fuel", "Bomber Squadron 6 being attacked!", Fighter Squadron 2 out of ammo, returning to ship", "Fighter squadron 1 Engaging enemy bombers/fighters!" "Scout 1 under AA attack!"
Waypoint navigation and multi-point flight paths (zone coverage), including atltitude setting.
Fighter control should be more than just dragging your squadron during battle.
