German airforce is lopsided

[Weasel]

If it were early in the war I would understand, but it is now June 1943 and I have Yak 7s and 9s, the equal to the Me109.  A typical airstrike I am seeing over and over again is as follows:  Launch attack, 130 fighters escorting 150 IL2s, 8 German fighters meet the attack and shoot down 6 fighters and 13 IL2s!  Or in the last one, 3 fighters went head to head with 90 fighters and got 13 of them.

I think the code is wrong big time, sheer odds alone should at least bring down 1 of the Germans.

Also, have you noticed that when you use the SHIFT key to plan a strike that the stupid AI will choose fighters and bombers from bases 30 hexes away and ignore the ones 6 hexes away with 0% air miles?
