Make people want to provide CAP near Vody/Beslan in Phase 2

In phase 2, Sukhumi and the coast usually gets secured first, and fighters end up farming fighters spawning out of Kobuleti. There's plenty of nearby airfields and also naval ops there. Even if CAP got bored and wanted to turn north, they have to break their way through the mountains loaded with SAMs. Ground attackers based out of Vody would rather attack Nalchik or SEAD Beslan than break that barrier. Aircraft spawn so far at Krasnodar that most of them look for something else to do than make the boring trip over flat land. The only F-18s spawning at Vody aren't always doing CAP.

Since Vody is mostly aircraft tasked with ground attack, Sukhumi could be the spawn point for CAP late game. The fighters spawning near Kobuleti could also be routed north, or just spawned north to give the same effect. The carriers could also move down the coast line as people hop down the coast capping each airfield. This would also give them a change of scenery, especially for F15Cs and M2000s that usually aren't near the coast because they can't do naval operations. F14s and F18s are usually already in this area because of the carrier. The area is also far enough so that ground attackers have a chance at getting on station without being beat out by these faster jets.
