Wholly different scenario, fighting a real war against a tech-equivalent enemy.

Tens of millions of civilians died during the two wars.

Tech equivalency is a meaningless concept and it is completely stupid to apply it in particular to WW2 where the majority of civilians never asked or wanted a war to begin with.

Millions of Japanese civilians were tech-equivalent?
yeah in 44/45 a b29 raid vs what ever the Japanese air force could cobble together is really equivalent.
