This is solved with by having objectives that create focal points for fighters to gather. Like the A point objectives and Attack Bomber/Attacker objectives. We just need more of them, and for them to be consistent.
I’ve been in matches where for some ungodly reason, objectives just don’t show up for one side or the other. Or when they do, it might be bombers that are impossible to catch in time due to the player controlled aircraft being slower than the bombers.
