I agree entirely with the original post. Aircraft visibility is a complete disaster in the game and in my view, one of the key reasons CLOD is struggling to take hold. Unless you are below or co-alt with an enemy you're unlikely to see him. Aircraft over the sea are virtually invisible. In all the trips I've made over the channel (maybe 60-80 or so I suppose) I think I've been bounced once! ONCE!!! That I think speaks volumes for the the 'challenging' nature of the graphical rendering of the aircraft. You could fly across without looking around once and in almost every case you'd be just fine.
People enter the servers, fly about in the general vicinity of the targets, have no luck finding a fight and leave. Combat sims that lack combat are always going to struggle to maintain critical mass. If the dev. wallahs do anything at all, I think they should fix the bloody aircraft visibility issue.
