I read in a book from Martin Caidin that it was the last plane in a formation the one to keep an eye on the 6 o'clock section. Of course I have no clue if the AI in the game "talk" to each other, so this is just pure speculation.
Having only the last plane in each flight do the "check manouvers" could solve the issue, while still keeping the new AI "blind spots" active.
But then again, I don't know if the code would allow for any of this, just trying to help.
