It's never that simple, just as you can go around with 90% CAP on your CV's and sucker the other guy into loosing 100% of his aircraft, there are ways to abuse the system. Historically, we know that the B-17's were never used for the purposes of massed naval attacks. Some folks continue to do it anyways. Such is life.
Yes, Matrix could adjust the code to have the B-17's crash a lot more often if flying below 6000 feet due to the poor climb rates, but should they have to when we all know they were not used like this? They attempted to deter this play style with higher flak damage, and higher operational losses and massive moral penalties, but it still comes down to some folks taking the abuse for the reward is still very good... The only real fix its to completely remove the altitude option from the game, and hardcode planes to fly at proper altitudes based on historical use.
