Are you playing a campaign game?.

A scripted LC may well have the number of air sorties for a scenario programmed in by the designer.

If not, or in all other cases - air superiority in a campaign game is entirely under control of the campaign code, just like the points values are. Player 1 points, for the inital core buy is the only thing the campaign uses out of the points values and air strikes numbers.

The air strikes number, and the player 2 points (if not XXX), are only ever used in a battle generator game.
