I've noticed the AI in the Historical Missions, as well as in MultiPlay Missions online, is a LOT tougher than the AI in Campaign mode. Also, aircraft in Historical and MP WILL attack you!
I don't know why Historical and MP is more challenging. Has nothing to do with hostiles getting smarter as the years pass in Campaign mode. I'm nearly at 1942 and the DD's are STILL dumber'n a box of rocks and I routinely watch Dieter wave at passing enemy aircraft as they fly overhead without even HINTING they may be interested! We replaced both flak guns on the conning tower and, "Wintergarden," by the way. Top level, we replaced the gun with a barbecue grill. Down below, at deck level, installed a picnic table where the gun used to be. Comes in handy when we wander into a Task Group of RN destroyers as we can watch 'em parade by while we enjoy our latest, "Special Meal."
