not fair.
Well historically at this point in the war, the best German pilots were in fighters defending the airspace over the Reich from streams of Allied bombers which were reducing German cities to rubble. Sounds like you got the greenhorn recruits deployed to a secondary theater, training in their Heinkels to try and get some flying hours in.
