	Okay arguing about realism in PzG is a bit sterile.
It's an excellent game butId oubt realism was the first goal...
Just look at the size of the unit... Between the taking of Sevastopol 
or the main attack in Russia, there's quite a scale :)

	That seems still quite strange to me... From what I gathered
it seems the german had a special stuka group trained against ships and
they were efficient. In the Pacific, ships were mostly sink by
torpedo or dive bomber, as the stuka is... Rarely by level bomber.
Or Am I wrong ?

	I agree with you :)
