Is it me?
Or is flak a much more effective weapon in this game than it was historically? I mean, weren't WWII naval/aerial engagements often characterized by relatively low losses among those attacking a TF with planes?
I've been playing Japan, and at least ten times I've sent large formations of Kates and Vals against US fleet formations; most of the time, at least 3/4 of them are damaged and a good chunk of them are shot down, often without having done any, or at best, minimal, damage to the enemy. They are well trained, well rested, and sent with large numbers of zero-sen for protection. When the US has attacked me, I've also managed to shoot down and damage large numbers of their planes, but their hit ratio would appear to be much higher than mine, even at an early point in the war. And those 1,000 lb. bombs are killer compared to my 65kg ones! And the torpedo bombers seem to miss 99% of the time, I thought that the Kates were quite fearsome, especially at the beginning of the war, seldom missing their target.
I love the game, but this seems...a little off. Historically, wasn't the British Repulse sunk by a relatively small number of planes that took minimal casualties? And what about Pearl Harbor?
