I think controlled spawn rates are the answer. Who's to blame for gangbangs - the country that brings overwhelming superiority in its attack to take a field? or the pilots that keep on respawning to save the field?
Limiting the spawn rate of planes and vehicles depending on the type/size of the field, its condition, and the condition of the factories and the city would raise the level of realism somewhat and could alleviate gangbanging.
Spawn rates could also be applied by plane type based on a combination of the uberness of the plane and wartime production numbers. This would also eliminate the need for plane perking.
