Enjoy the early superiority as come winter the VVS will be full of Yak7's!

Status: offline 		ok.. I have bought three rounds of fighters.. every time I load up it seems there are fifty red air fighters to my one... does the bnormal setting allow the ai to have no stacking penalty?

In my current game, I thought I was smart and piled up a ton of planes in forward cities, and realized after a few turn that they were having a -48% bonus!! Let's say it solved the mystery of why they were dying like flies... So watch for the green square, it's a clear indicator of the stacking/overstacking value of Air Units.

Also thanks for reminding me about the 25% bonus the AI has on normal - it helps me understand why my planes are having a hard time, even without being overstacked.

Status: offline 		there was some kind of bug early in the game resulting in huge ai interception fleets. make sure you updated the game.
if you play the ai it may makes sense to cheat a little: look where his air bases are and do some attacks on them on the first turn.

Status: offline 		Well in this game my planes are regularly intercepted by stacks of 4 x ~20 Russian planes.
Is about 80 FTG considered "huge ai interception fleets"? (It seems like a lot to me, and I wonder what's their OS penalty)
