I think the +2 for adjacent is too generous.

It may have been better to make this variable from 0 to +2 dependent on dice roll and mitigating factors such as

a) Presence of AA (ie within 3 hexes)
b) Aircraft attacking AA guns not committed to AA fire
c) Aircraft attacking AA guns comitted to AA fire.

It should be considered that when we hear of aircraft dominating the skies and say in 44, Allied aircraft taking out German columns. This is due to many many sorties and the numbers of AFV's and troops hit over 24 hours is proportionally quite low WHEN considered against a solitary sortie in PG getting a 30+col attack. If one side has air support either every turn or every other turn, then I can tell you that the effect will be well over the top.
