While I agree with a lot of what your saying, its getting rather ridiculas to play the AI now. I though in demo it was bad, but what Im sseing now is WOW
I got mid 30ish pilot with 5 skills, havent spent huge amounts on extra cards and my latest mission having just scraped up enough to fly a mossy I was up against
Top Jap planes with typical leader 7-8 skills 7 card draws, target pilot plus 2 , Wingman 5 plus skills and 5 card draws, plus target pilot plus 2.
They tore through the heavy bombers more or less by end of first turn,ie both smoking both dead by turn 2.
I like playing the AI, yes I like a challenge, but this maybe over the top and starting to make it not so fun any more.
