RE: On board aircraft

LOL, I like the light observation aircraft on the board, but that is it. The rest I think, as they are currently represented are too destabilizing and out of sync with the games basic presumptions (and time and distance scales). I don't have a problem with OB aircraft being susceptible to indirect fire (this was a true danger, and beaten zones were/are avoided), but being shot down by heavy artillery in a direct fire mode (such as 105mm howitzers at 3000 meters or the like) is silly. Likewise their being vulnerable to assaults. Good ideas, but not ready for prime time in their current iteration, at least now without some house rules to control how they are employed.
