@MrConway,
personaly I believe most of the "frustration" if that is the right way of putting it for cv players lies not only with uptiering and AAA scaling. (which have both been mentioned in not only this thread.) But quite a bit with a change made in 0.8.0.1 the increase of the "Safe" altitude for planes when they return to the carrier. While this was intended to reduce people from hitting the F key inorder to save planes, it instead impacted planes that completed a strike the most. What I tend to see happen quite often is when I drop my payload the planes that then return back to the carrier almost never make it there. They simply fly up in a straight line and proceed to get hit by flak and die. This makes me feel kind of helpless since I have no way of preventing this from happening.
Instead of the current "fix" to F key spam wouldn't it be better to have the return function of planes be a 5 second hold F to return to carrier. Now I understand that this could cause issues with taking manual control of the carrier. Leading perhaps to an even greater lack of control then we are faced with right now.
