Who Uses Air Support?

[Joonny]

We have artillry observers, why not an air force observer?

Because the ground-air communication systems wern't good enough for most of the war as far as i understand it. I believe the germans and later on in the war the americans (and possibly the rest of the allies) did have Forward Air Observers, this has been discussed with regards to CM:Normandy.

I do think it would be useful to have some indicator as to weather you had air support or not, but sometimes the air sorties you buy never turn up so it could be misleading.

I do use air support btw, especially in the desert and large point battles, but i rarely buy it when rarity is on because it becomes too expensive to buy.
