Default Re: AI Air Defense

My point is that in most Player vs AI battles you are only given 2 to 4 sorties, 6 is very rare. Given the "average" AI air defense I totally agree there is zero sense to using aircraft if you're given less then 4, better 6, sorties. And even with that many sorties you can count on 50%+ losses.

No nation in the world would bother with an air force if they took 50% casualties per sortie, even if they didn't care about pilot losses the sheer cost of the aircraft would make it senseless.

While WinSPMBT is a game not a combat simulation it tends to do a pretty fair job as a simulation. This however is one area where I feel the simulation aspect fails.
If the answer is "it is as it is for game balance" that's fine and dandy.
BUT - if if there is any intent to be a "simulation" in this regard I think the issue needs to be addressed.
