The trouble is CW started off as a boardgame with a massive suspension of disbelief, a bit silly, but a simple game. As the game grew the believability got more and more stretched. Some contributors seemed to want it to turn into a wargame, but the system couldn't really support it. As the arms race escalated it got more and more complex and inconsistent.
I think the rule of diminishing returns applies.
