Here's one that's gonna piss you off: If the giant enemy ship can track them through hyperspace, why don't they all just fly off in a different direction? The enemy dreadnought can chase down one of them, but you can save 95% of your fleet - compared to the "until we run out of gas" plan which ends up getting 95% of the fleet destroyed.
I like TLJ's themes and the Rey/Kylo/Luke stuff but the script needed to be reworked from scratch. Oh and the bombers thing was almost fine - Star Wars space battles are just WW2 dogfights, so the concept of strategic bombers in space fits, but the way they all blow each other up is extremely stupid and the fact that they apparently only needed one of the twenty bombers they sent out to actually destroy the enemy ship negates the sacrifice of everyone else (and is your first indication that the Resistance's command is hilariously incompetent).
See, this is why I prefaced by saying "Star Wars space battles are just WW2 dogfights", because of course they're not realistic. But the space battles in the sequel trilogy are bad depictions of WW2 dogfights.
