What can the developers do to resolve this problem?
no
Absolutely nothing, because bombing is considered unsportsmanlike and should be treated harshly, but spawn camping is normal and encouraged.
But it hurts gameplay. “But well what can we do?” is the better question. We have to force them again XD
Just play Air RB. Save yourself the grief.
Not better there

It’s not ideal, but at least players can’t sit above the spawn forever. I prefer ground RB, at least there are no markers, and in the low to mid BRs spawn camping of the air spawn isn’t really an issue.
It isn’t as much an issue in any lo-mid BR range in any mode - if only because the equipment usually isn’t fast enough get here!
I don’t think there’s any way for them to do it or try.
In game
Dont climb to giving free kills
if you have bombers leave the match when dont have any fighters to play
Aren’t we talking about airfield/spawncamping?
As someone who plays exclusively air arcade, my unpopular opinion is that spawn camping is not an issue. The issue is that most players are imbeciles, and that the developpers have a long history of pandering to them instead of encouraging more intelligent behaviour.
If you are killed by a spawn camper, Then the only reason why this could have happened is because your teammates are imbeciles (becuause the ones who are already at altitude should have gone back to chase the spanwncamper away before he can do any damage).
Therefore, the only sensible thing that should be done is not to artificially block spawncampers but to encourage sensible play by creating an award (let’s call it “spawn protector” for example) for anyone who shoots down an ennemy in proximity of the friendly spawn point, and make sure that the reward is consistent enough to serve as an incentive.
On a side note, I also think that the developpers should tweak the existing achievments and massively increase the reward for such such achievements as fighter or bomber rescuer, or any other “being usefull to your teammates” type of achievement (as well as massively decrease the rewards for regular kills) to push players into fignting only at a time and place where they are more likely to make a positive contribution to their team, in order to encourage intelligent behaviour ant teamplay in general. But this is a much bigger subject for a different thread.

Yes, camping above the spawn zone
