Setting ships to wingman status just lets you use their command hotkeys. By default Shift+1 is "Attack my target," and Shift+2 is "Protect me." They can be useful at times.

Also, it lets you use the "Broadcast to all ships in sector>Wingmen" option in the command console.

For 'wingmen attack my target' is that every single wingman? I don't quite understand :P

Let's say you have 4 Novas as your wingmen.

If you see a Pirate Osprey, you can target it and hit shift+6. This will make all 4 Novas attack the Pirate Osprey.
