Do you SERIOUSLY think in a game typically representing 1 1/2 - 2 hours of real time battle that aircraft should be able to fly back to distant air bases, re-arm and return the the battle ?
Or are you referring to some problem with a campaign game ?

Just to be annoying
This is one of the reasons the USMC is so fond of the AV-8 Harrier.
We have mobile (a small truck convoy) refuel/rearm stations that set up in less then 15 minutes well forward on the battlefield specifically to service helo's and Harriers.
WinSMBT already allows you to rearm helo's, and I've toyed with the idea of making a Harrier using a helicopter unit type (it works, kinda, but not worth the trouble).
This is however the exception to the "rule" for aircraft.
As Don said, for any other aircraft to return to base, rearm, and return to the battlefield in a couple hours just ain't gonna happen.
I do however question the cost/benefit ratio of aircraft in general in WinSMBT.
While I have, on rare occasions, had truly spectacular results from an airstrike for the most part I rarely find them worth the point cost.
If they cost say half as much they might be worth the cost, in my (and i stress this is personal) opinion.
