Larger maps

On some maps, to 1:1 scale or not, flight distances/times from one end of the map to the other is to short.
Especially for scrambleing to intercept bombers. It's just impossible to take off and reach altitude to attack the incomming enemy before the enemy has arrived, dropped their load, and gone. Kyushu is one such map

Don't know if it works on the Kyushu map, assigning coordinates far off the map to a flight that should arrive late(er) as starting point, at least on the Med map it works well enough to get an extra ~ 10 minutes to scramble and intercept

This is the kind of workaround solutions I was talking about.

If you're just using AI bombers, it's also possible to have bombers spawn when players reach a certain waypoint, or to have AI bombers follow a less direct route to allow players time to reach altitude.

But, historically, Japanese early warning systems weren't that great. It might have been possible for B-29 formations to hit targets in Southern Kyushu and escape before the Japanese could react. Not very fun for Japanese players, though.
