Please a better AIR organization

The separation of the air phase and the ground phase on the map is astoundingly frustrating.

In summary:

Airbases should be the WAY air should move NOT air GROUPS.

This is because airbases have ALL the air types IN ONE PLACE. So, no more JG51 then KG 23 THEN etc etc to find all the planes in a base- which if I had 2 lives, I guess I might be willing to spend my LIFE ON.

This present "airGROUP" way is sub optimal! Intuitively the position of the planes (i.e. airbases) is how one directs the traffic so to speak.

In the air phase is almost impossible to note WHAT HQ is there (it is like grayed out) so that air planning can be fine-tuned. Instead, most will just revert to generic formula such as AGN etc.. Again, people do have a life other than SORT out this !

Given the OTHER possibilities which could occur it's amazing that present way is the best one could come up with.

It really sucks the life out of this game

Problem is the air system is a port from War in the West and with an eye on a future War in Europe, any solution has to be able to cope with the huge western airforces and long periods where most of the gameplay is the air war.

But generally I agree, I don't like airgroups or the weird way of selecting airbases. Just having units that move (from airfield to airfield) and air HQs would work better for me
