Good post Buzzsaw!
Have you submitted it as a bug report? It would get my vote.
I think its important for Hurris to ground start aswell as all fighters, its part of the game and is a skill just like anything else!
Storm of War Campaigns has also had to add an airspawn Snapper, we just threw the one in near Ashford for red aircraft. Its a pain to have to go in and change all the spawns temporaily for something that should be so obvious especially when this has happened before.
