Forced side-balancing should be an option for server admins, but not intrinsic to or with a pre-determined %. To be able to say that one side or the other can't exceed 10% advantage or something like that would be o.k. with me. I realize there are many times a squad may come to a server and want to all fly together thus making one side a bit more populated than the other, but things often have a tendency to balance out after a few minutes.
The only time I've ever really had an issue is when singles or pairs join and simply load up in "their favorite" aircraft on the team that already outnumbers the other by 2:1. Another option could be, If the numbers are seriously out of balance and the new pilots still want to join the side with the numerical advantage, they should have to fly the ragged, "pool" aircraft in a bomber role or the one with the supercharger that doesn't work.
