NOT having a go at GW - let's make that clear!
I'm running NYGM 2.2 and the treatment of aircraft is good. Certain areas are pretty much assured of aircraft, and you need to crash dive ASAP - fighting them isn't an option as they use their additional weapons (read mg and cannon) as well as bombs/DCs.
Certainly TC nerfs aircraft. Teddy Bar explained this pretty well in another post as having to do with the distance things travel between 'checks' when at high TC. Put crudely, the aircraft might well be there but are passing over you between 'checks' so you don't, in effect, contact them. I imagine there are similar reasons for this in GW, although it does seem more people comment on aircraft going AWOL in GW than NYGM.
All in all, the main point is WHERE you are, the DATE, and how high you're running TC.
As has been stated, running high TC in 'risky' areas - especially if in light fog - can mean your first experience can be noises of bullets hitting your boat!
Again, to ensure there are no misunderstandings, I have posted simply to comment on my experiences in NYGM and what I see as likely similar root causes to this issue.
