Actually I believe ComradeP was referring to Soviet AF on airbase bombing missions in 1941 being too effective (or really, I think, CAP is NOT effective). I played a Road to Moscow as the Soviets recently, and pretty much managed to knock the Luftwaffe out of the war. I stumbled upon that in the last 4-5 turns of that scenario. The Germans were driving on Moscow, and I figure it was 'now or never' with what I had assumed would be virtual suicide missions, and just started flinging everything that would fly at the German airbases. Turned out it worked, and I had a roughly 1:1 loss ratio. Which, when the SU has ~2,000 a/c vs. ~600 for the Germans, is sure domination. After about 4 turns of steady airbase bombing, the Germans were down to less than 200 a/c, and those were almost all recon planes (which I didn't go after).
