The "well why don't you do a better job of protecting it" doodz are gonna be all over ya like white on rice.
Wrong.
This is quite different matter than just about the CV. It's a separate issue which must be addressed. I advocate proper protection of CV, and generally dismiss the claims that the CV is too weak. However, that doesn't mean that I do not notice certain circumstances which has become truly problematic due to repeated abuse from the players.
I'd understand these deck-run buffs if it was just an occasional newbie who was desperate to shut down a CV or something. Or, if it was indeed a long, lonely NOE trip to hit a HQ or something.
However, recent events have come to show that people are routinely attempting such deck-runs on a regular basis - it's not used as just a certain type of attack, but rather, it's replaced proper bombing runs in its entirety.
Proper bombing runs take skill and practice. Just as much as people have to learn ACM and BFM to survive in a fighter plane, a would-be bomber pilot needs experience and technique - at least, that's how it should be.
However, the sad truth is the suicdal mentality coupled with unrealistic bomb-release mechanisms, have created hordes of people abusing bomber formations as oversized jabo machine.
In order to properly destroy FHs, the bomber pilot must take the time to grab alt, plan a careful course, face enemy interceptors if he has to, and try to land bombs right at the target.
It is not an easy take, and it should not be. But in the MA, people nowadays make "missions" featuring 4~5 B-17/Lancaster formations running at NOE. Since its running at NOE it is usually undetected until too late. And the dorks arrive at the field, briefly pull up, and just spray the bombs everywhere and knock all FHs down. Sure, they'd be shot down. But who cares, the job's done, right?
This kind of fault rewards dorks with higher success rates, rather than the people who really took time to learn buffs. Stupidity is promoted over and over again.
