Is it Normal for W3C WL 1 ad hard as this?

Short Story, I started a new country after abandoned several country in the past.

Today, i declared a war to my beighboring w3c WL1 country and im facing a stronger defense country. It was so strong that the defense can wipeout entire precisions bomber and destroying hundreds of fighter planes.

Also it still continueing the war after WI reach 12.68 .. is it normal?

Also, there is something in my mind. If w3c Lvl 1 country would become this hard to defeat, would i face a stronger w3c country in the future on WL2, WL3 and so on than normally should?

And what might causing W3C this strong? Is it because its not my first war even when i fought in new WL0 country?

Thank you for answering my questions, i loved the gameplay

From your screenshot, it appears to be the standard first war. The easiest way to confirm is to check the Army Units from the target list. WL0 -> WL1 war has a single Defense Interceptor Wing, a WL1 -> WL2 war has 2 Defense Interceptor Wings. A detailed guide for the first war using the default military you begin with was just posted the other day on the forum that tries to give detail on entry level war that could be worth a read.

Thank you, Unsthable

Recently, the first war became rather trivial.
we have made a correction and now, even the first war, require some more attacks before the country capitulates.

we did not change any parameters in other wars.

compared to the trivial war, the next is much more serious and the war index must be reduced to zero.
It is a major surprise compared to the first war you could win in 3 or 4 attacks.

The difference between the first and second war remains but the difference is not as large as before.

you need a much stronger army in place to win the war and, if you continue up the war levels, it becomes much more difficult.
