Scenario:
Me: A6M2 Zero:

-Quick Reflexes
-Zoom Dive
Wingman Skills:
-Anticipation
-Check Six
Opponent: P40N Warhawk
Leader Skills:

Wingman Skills:

draw extra x4
I was dead in the second round. No chance. Not without a certain irony, debriefing claimed: 'axis forces achieved expected results'.
Not taking skill point inflation into account, that's 365 for opfor leader & 190 for wingman. Probably much more. Nevertheless debriefing showed a ratio of 1:1.4. It's more like 1:2 in my book.
Esp. those draw extras, which *I* simply can't afford, are regulary killing me. I doubt that a human opponent would burn so much points on draw extras, but the AI does and it simply play it's cards until I'm dead.
Now I already did a a fair share of whining here & I don't want to throw away the last bits of sympathy. But at least I don't like always being at the recieving end of the stick and -I can't resist- judging from the less than overwhelming traffic on the EF forum, I'm not alone here.
Now I don't know what to do. Waiting for my frustation tolerance raising again -which isn't *that* high in RL also-, waiting for some good advice or simply shelfing the game. But I won't touch another Dan Verssen game with a long fork until I'm not totaly convinced that the difficulty level is more tailored towards joe average.
Thanks for your patience.....
