Hey Sweetsie, as we've mentioned we have a few things in process in terms of AA and the interaction between surface ships and CVs.

First, we did announce a change on PTS which in the next update will have AA target the last aircraft in a squadron of planes instead of the entire squadron. While it won't make major changes to damage caused, it should address some situations where a squadron could fly over and no planes are shot down.

We're also still in the process of reworking sector AA which you should hear more about in the near future.

To be clear lead planes can still be killed from hitting shell explosions on approach if they do not avoid them, that mechanic remains intact. This change affects planes who avoided flak and in some situations because of randomly assigned damage could survive a full run without a loss. AA will target the last plane and assign damage to just that one to ensure a higher chance of a kill.
