I think its obvious why planes not in a convoy or refueling would be considered aloft...this is a game where people have to log off for many hours at a time. It's so that you can't just pick off an entire air force just because someone had to take a shower. From the "realistic" viewpoint, what, are planes not going to scramble when an enemy is incoming? That's like complaining that Anti-tank weapons should only function if the opposing player is online when you attack them.
Of course this had the unforseen problem that when engaged in a land battle on an airport the airplanes are forever "in flight". Coding to force extended refueling on land combat in such an instance would be an easy way to handle it.
A plane that is considered aloft 24/7 in an airbase is a big problem , no matter how many tanks you have marching at a province with an airbase , i place a couple bombers on the airstrip and you are never making it through. This said i dont do this since i dont like exploiting bugs and calling it Tactics / Master Strategy / or being ignorant and say that it is normal
