The day a lousy script/server setting decides which side I should fly on is the day this particular server ends on my "can be heartily ignored" list. The only times when I flew red (or allied) online were during mission file and spawn tests. When the sides are uneven I simply stay offline ...

The better (and IMO only) alternative is to make heavy use of AI on DF servers - to populate those aircraft few people fly but which should be really prominent instead of the ever-present fighters: bombers, recon, ground-attack aircraft and transports. In such an environment side balacing is not an issue. Nuff said ...
