Dynamic Campaign too hard?
I tried to play a dynamic campaign (siege on malta) on 'realistic' and 'simulator' difficulty but I find the missions are way too hard. In 'Head to head' for example you basically fight with a squadron of 4 against 20+ fighters. I constantly had around 5 enemies on my tail and thus never really could get a good shot on anybody. The same for the mission where you have to defend a bomber attack. You fight with a squadron of 4 against 4 full bomber squadrons plus 2 fighter escort squadrons. How should this even be possible on 'realistic' or 'simulator'?

Am I doing something wrong or is it just not balanced yet?

I only started to play few days ago, so I before heading to PvP I tried dynamic campaigns first. I also have to mention that I play just on Arcade difficulty (I never was into simulators, but I like to play some arcade style flight games for fun, e.g. HAWX).
Some type of scenarios in dynamic campaigns are playable on Arcade, but for example intercept bombers scenario is not playable even on Arcade. I don't understand how am I supposed to destroy several squadrons of bombers with the weak fighter plane that they give you. As soon as you get on tail of bombers their rear gunners initiatio ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of bullets on you. To be honest I didn't manage to critically damage even on bomber! I don't know where the hell am I supposed to hit the plane to shoot it down (probably manage headshot to pilots :) )

Either way I am having fun in PvP battles so far although mathcmaking is pretty messed up sometimes and I end up flying low level planes against fighter planes that shoot me down in on good burst while my bullets merely scratch the paint of their planes.

Glad I'm not the only one then... I hope these dynamic campaigns will get a balance pass sometime soon because I imagine they must be pretty fun with 3 friends. But as it is now I have no chance against the huge AI waves.

The AI has the annoying mentality of hunting you down obsessively. On the arcade difficulty (I need my stabilizers) the only thing that bugs me is the intercept the bombers on their way to their objective, a squad of four vs. 4 squads of 10 bombers and some fighters to top it off.
