IL2 DCG Campaign Balance

FOR ******** SAKE!

So as you know I gave up on RAF Normandy 41 because the RAF got wiped out in 1 mission. I then tried RAF Mareth Line 43. Things seemed to be going well at first, but on one long mission I noticed on the debrief that a lot of allied planes were crashing at the end of the mission, and I couldn't find the crashes marked anywhere on the debrief screen. So I loaded up the ntrk and watched as an entire squadron of AI Spitfires flew their patrol, then flew out to sea, then ran out of fuel and crashed. There's two or three allied airfields here on this map where they could have landed, but no! They have to fly out to sea and get wiped out! So I deleted that campaign and generated a new one: RAF Italy 43. Now all our planes start (and so presumably finish) on airfields, so hopefully no crashing into the sea. I set off on my first mission, a bomber escort. No sooner have we finished circling the airfield than I hear screaming on the radio and MISSION OVER appears on my screen. Again I watch the replay to work out WTF happened. The answer? The entire squadron of A-20's I was escorting decided to take a shortcut through the side of a mountain. So I delete that campaign and generate an RAF Normandy 44 campaign. I'm running out of war here, but I glimmer of hope remains. I mean Normandy 44 must have been tested to death, right? Wrong. First test, I get this:

If anyone knows of any alternatives to DCG, I'm all ears.
