Honestly, I think the Chinese AF would have done better given some better airframes to work with. Their pilots were probably trained as well as any pilot in the sponsor nations, but even a well trained pilot will have problems in airframes that are 2 generations obsolete.

Agreed. Later in the war, when they began to receieve ample supplies of phone books so they could see over the instrument panel, their success rate soared.

IMHO the AI as Japan (I haven't tried it yet from the Japanese point of view) is quite good for the first couple of months, then it collapses.
I'm in 42/04 in my first game vs. the AI and it's already taking an unbelievable beating (no reload, I play it as a PBEM).
It has decided to take Lunga and Tulagi and keeps getting hammered by my strong garrison already in place.
Port Moresby and surrounding area it's another massacre of Japs.
And it got stuck in Moulmein with naval sorties up to Akyab where they are sunk by my LBAs and surface TFs.

Frankly I was surprised it was so good the first few months given the huge amount of variables to consider.
But I feel the AI is just a training dummy, there's no comparison whatsoever with a human opponent.

I don't think you could get those results with any decent human player. But I might be wrong of course.

What I'm saying is that my original question referred to PBEM games. They are completely different from the AI (again my humble opinion).
