Polish Air Force destroys all my 88s?!

[Jaeger]

I have SPWAW 4.5 When I last did the Long Campaign in version 2.3, I (German) pretty much owned most of the victories from 1939 until 1945 when the Allied Air Force and units got too overwhelming. Now, on the first scenario in 9/39 as the Germans (advance) in Turn 3, the Polish Air Force (?!) wiped out my two platoons of 88's. My tanks are under pressure from what looks like 25-30 platoons of Polish tanks. What happened here? Are we being politically correct or trying to "even the playing field" or what? Thank you.

i think you were a bit unlucky loosing 88's to polish air force. But actually if they were low flying dive bombers i doubt 88's would be much good against them (could 88's shoot at low altitude planes with the normal ammo provided). The poish tanks with 37mm guns are okay but i hjave dueled with 20mm p2 and armoured cars against equal numbers and won without loss which i suppose is to do with superior german crews (cross your fingers though), 20mm have some apcr rounds which can get 7tp's from front but once that runs out you need to go for side shots maybe. 37mm would have less trouble.

Hi, also remember the opposing AI force is based on how many points you spent on your core. If the AI has an assualt versus you it gets 3 times your value in units. If you take a large core or upgrade to high value units you face larger and larger AI forces.

According to Mogamis note AI is cheating. I would like to see AI to act more on historical basis in the campaigns: Early war Axis rules and you know what I mean. Could it be possible to create somekind of 'pool of army' from where AI takes its units? If AI takes only best equipment it could be ended after Axis has destroyed them in 3 to 4 battles. After that AI is forced to buy second best force. So we players have to do when we run out of repairing points.

Hallusinating I'll suppose..
