Like to play latest WAW 5T. Prefer axis but you might be able to convince me to play allies. [X(]

I have 2 games going  so I cant.

I might be up for some 1v1, however, I'm still thinking another change to 5T needs to be made. Also, I've never really played the allies much in WaW. I'm at my evil best with Axis. If you can't find anybody this week, let me know.

What change?

I might have bandwidth for another game if you can't find an opponent. My turn around time might be a little on the slow side... Wife and kid simply don't understand obsession with (virtual) world conquest 

What change?

Naval units still a bit too OP against air. In all the history regarding WWII never any instance of naval surface naval units having any success shooting down air on the scale I've seen already in a prep WaW game. Just making CAs or CAII+ as anti-air platforms is silly. Only really the USA later in war had some CLAA for extra AA. But in reality even those couldn't stop a dedicated air attack. There's a reason why the US produced over a hundred CVs, CVLs, CVEs to protect their fleets.

People that don't already know WWII was the introduction of the dominance of air vs naval. So to have 1939 ships shooting down air factors in numbers is quite absurd. Many nations tried, in vain somewhat, to refit their ships later in the war with 2x or even 3x AA guns to help offset this fact.

IMO if you want to protect your ships at sea vs air, better have some air support, CVs work nice, but ground fighters doing cap work as well or better.
