As mentioned by others in this thread, the issue under discussion is AI secondary fighter flights flying at full-throttle, burning excess fuel, and weaving and S-turning to avoid overtaking another primary fighter flight, not escorting traditionally slower bomber or attack flights.

Even when AI flights do escort bomber or attack units, or even fly secondary to another pure fighter flight that's just cruising along, they still use too much throttle, and do an excessive amount of weaving, roundabouts, and doubling back to catch back up with their charges.
