Whenever we've faced his carrier pilots, they've seemed pretty good. I noticed a bit of a downtick in quality, but nothing he can't come back from. His land-based pilots (including Navy fighters operating from airbases), on the other hand, started getting better awhile ago, but it didn't last. They're the ones taking the heaviest losses and it shows.
