Is there any way of using the 1/3 rule with different types in the same mission?

For example, allocated to an ASW mission I have 2 Seahawks and 1 Lynx. The mission initiates by launching one of the Seahawks and the Lynx. It looks like it applies the 1/3 rule to each of the types instead of the whole mixed-type allocation.

How can I make it use only 1 chopper at a time?

If it's not possible, I'd like to request it as a new feature.

I would love that as a togglable feature!

Not just the 1/3 rule. I'd prefer it with both the cycling options (keep N aircraft on station). For example, I might have F/A-18E/Fs and F/A-18C/Ds. I might want to keep 2 aircraft on station at all times, I don't care if they're both the same type, they're fighters. I run into this when there's 1-seat and 2-seat versions of the same fighter, multiple types of ASW helos, or just generally any time there's similarly performing platforms that can do the same job.

I also would like this and have made a request on the features request thread. You should put your request there as well.

Was just checking in case I'd missed something, but seems not.

So okeydokey...
