Losing hundreds of Fighters in every air battle
Hey, played this mod as Germany and got my ♥♥♥ kicked by the allies and the soviets.

I got through france and the balkans (slowly but steadily) , but i had trouble due to losing every signle Air fight. Even with better Planes, equal in Numbers and high radar tech, I lost much more planes than the enemy did and wasnt able to comprehense those losses.
It was quite normal throughout the game, that for every plane i shot down, i lost 10-20 of my own.
In vanilla this never happened.
In the end of 1942, especially when the USA joined it, i got steamrolled in france, couldnt trade with portugal for tungsten anymore and this was the end :D

Maybe it's a bug, or it happened because of me only having the road to victory Expansion pack. Maybe this caused some balance issues?
Or did i missed something?

What are your thoughts on this?

Air war doesn't work any different compared to vanilla mechanically. The AI in the mod builds far more aircraft with up to date techs and highly upgraded variants, radar and so forth so it's of course going to be more difficult than vanilla.

However the current bug (not related to this mod) that allows the AI to put any aircraft on air superiority as well as other missions could - I'm guessing - lead to some weird losses and since the AI has a lot more aircraft in this mod, the issue is more prominent compared to vanilla where the AI usually doesn't have much.

It's a vanilla thing. There's a thread about it in the Paradox forum as well.
