We should not see, from where and to where the enemy planes fly

In real life it's unknown it also should be unknown in CoN.

For land units we see only next stop or next turn of the road, but for plane we see the whole route, from where it flies.

Of course it makes airforce less capable when its seen for enemy, but its not quite how it works in real life, so maybe it should be changed. To show only with short like the direction it goes, but not the full route and the airport it uses

I would guess, this is either because of technical limitations or to make air force not to oppressive, they are already kind of the strongest play style.

Yes, probably not to make airforce that strong, but maybe better would be to keep it more realistic as game try to be such in some way and maybe then lower a bit plane's stats.

Da, vjerojatno ne da bi zračne snage bile tako jake, ali možda bi bilo bolje držati ih realnijima jer igra pokušava na neki način biti takva i možda onda malo smanjiti statistiku aviona.

It's game not simulation

i don’t think that it will be hard to implement, because it is change to show just the vector.
i would like to see this in game along with other aircraft bug fix such as teleport and homing aircraft

I suspect, those are not bugs, but design decisions

ah yes, design decisions to not fix the bugs due to x y z reasons.

Aircrafts teleport due to the fact, that you get a timer if you make a direct attack and aircrafts always know where you are, because otherwise AI could not handle it?

I suspect that their "attack" action need "target"
potential fix, YES CoW already somewhat have solution for it but only available for ground unit. it is "ghost" unit.
they can just. hey after the aircraft gone from any detection, make a duplicate ghost, put on last known location, make the aircraft attack that.
-> when arrive if enemy aircraft appear in patrol range -> attack
-> when arrive if no enemy aircraft appear in patrol range -> cancel attack and go back to port

the concept is not the problem
the problem are value of the bugs and their logistic of fixing it which is reputationally "TERRIBLE" (aka LEGACY CODE)

It can be quite annoying, that you can hardly out play an enemie, by moving target unit around. It would maybe make radar unit of more importance for even regular players, if they changed that.
Though maybe it is their point, that they do not want radar units to be to necessary.

How ever, this is the reason, you should think twice, if you want to send your choppers at a place, where they get seen.
