This. It was my major complaint, that they retained deniability. Still a major step up.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Season 4 was almost the perfect ending. It just needed this.

Well, let's throw it over another direction. Technology sure developed strangely. It's more than 3 years after the anti-bending revolution introduced dramatic technology advancements, but while the mecha tanks advanced dramatically, it appears that heavier than air flight has completely disappeared. We only ever see a few bandits using it this season, which implies that the technology has spread.

Nevertheless, from a military perspective, it's clear that the technology would be very useful. Neither side in combat has developed any effective anti-air weaponry, and I doubt that the bombs would be ineffective against the mini-mecha tanks.

While I'm willing to believe that any commercial enterprises were eliminated due to competition with airbenders willing to work for free, it's unclear why they disappeared from military purposes.

Well remember that materials are different in the show then in real life.

Platinum is apparently extremely common, for example.

It is quite possible that technology advanced quickly but only in certain ways.

The point is, we were shown that the airplanes could effectively destroy an enemy fleet. Three years later, that very same fleet still exists, but the planes disappeared. The tech is known, it is used by bandits. So why did they disappear?

They also have better mining potential with the whole Earth Bending and BadgerMole thing...  don't really need to develop elaborate/expensive mining technology when they got those.

My other guess as to why flying ships disappeared and why bandits use them is that they became outdated probably because weapon's technology has made them near useless.

And to an extent that is true... any metal bender can take down a blimp and it is nearly impossible to stop them
