Yeah, losing a ton of bombers sucks. Especially when your bombers are doing minimal damage while your opponent’s bombers are scorching the earth.
Honestly, there are times when I prefer Low Luck rules. SBR’s are one of them. The other is in large scale 50/50 battles. It always bugs me a little when I see the game turned upside down because a large even-odds battle results in one side getting diced. I made a conscious decision that I would be willing to trade my sz34 fleets for those pain in the ass US fighters, but I’m a little worried that your slight unit advantage is going to end up with you walking away with like 10 fighters putting me behind the 8-ball again.
