Question is: How much fun is the cooperative gaming?

I play War Thunder and each time I start in a B-17 the other bombers split up and we're easy targets for single fighters. The chance to survive in a bomber box or (naval) line of ships is much higher.

Is there a kind of fleet management in this game. Maybe an virtual arrow that points at the direction the Admiral want you to sail? Otherwise you have a big melee of ships.
