You have to love the AI. I couldn't outrun a LaGG3 in a 109F....
I think we definitely have to do something about balancing or we won't have much fun with this campaign.
In the first sortie Task Force and I shot down 9 enemy planes and were still surrounded by plenty more of them. Our own AIs got butchered since they were heavily outnumbered too. Like that I don't think we will ever get near Stalingrad.
On the other hand we can shorten the inevitable defeat and pull back to Berlin in mid 1942.
