I have 10 interceptors, level 3, broken into 2 groups of 5 patrolling an area that overlaps an enemy air patrol. No one is on home/core province territory. The enemy has 3 Lvl 2 fighters that they upgraded to lvl 3 halfway through the combat session, and 3 Lvl2 tactical bombers.
I should add that initially I had all my fighters in one patrol of 10 and when the enemy patrol attacked my fighters we each had about the same amount of damage, which made no sense at all. Why would a larger group at a higher level of research suffer the same amount of damage as a group that is smaller and is half bombers whose attack strength is 21% of the level 3 attack/defense strength of my fighters (1.5 vs 7.0, and 1.5 is 21.4% of 7.0!!) Based on the inefficiency of a group of 10, I split them into 2 groups of 5, which some how made it worse.
I even used the tactics recommended in another thread in the forum--moving my patrols so they reset the timer before they actually attack, and forcing the enemy patrol, specifically the bombers, to attack my fighters, at a lower hit point.
Right now I have lost 5 fighters and the enemy still has 2 fighters and one bomber, total group at 76%. This is crap, please explain how my fighters, a whole level higher, are suffering these kinds of losses??!!
How does this happen?? I am leading the winning coalition, I am winning the game, and morale is 91%. This is totally unfair and I feel like I am wasting my time if this is how combat situations are going to be determined.
