I have stopped using the aircraft/artillery cards and use just the new style artillery in my games.
If I would use the cards, I might play them like this:
1) Buy the aircraft and artillery cards as per the normal rules
2) make a random mini stack ("support stack") of aircraft/artillery cards (as many as you purchased for your army). Mix the cards together without looking.
3) To use the cards, you need to give an order chit to one of your officers. He needs to have a line of sight to the target. He is calling support on the radio.
4) When the Officers order chits turn comes, draw a random card from the "support stack" and use it as per the rules in the card. The Officer calling the support must have a line of sight to the target.
5) You can call support once per turn and for as many times in a game as you bought the aircraft cards/artillery cards.
I don't know if this is balanced, but the "one card per turn" and "Officer calling the support needs line of sight to the target" might balance it out somewhat.
