When I tried D-Day start with human AI air vs Axis AI w/ AI air the result was much worse. When I tried the same with human vs human both with AI air the Axis had almost no interdiction in the bay. The AI player has something up its sleeve...

actually its not an AI cheat, its an AI with no long term grasp of the situation and thus of force preservation and retention
Having said that, in PBEM as the human axis player I've both sealed off the Bristol Channel and got 5+ interdiction over the invasion zone (my opponent matched that but it still inflicted a lot of attrition)
