Hey,
I've been playing as the Papal State realising one thing:
The Ottomans are now, by 1560, so ahead in military quantity and quality that no one, even a possible coalition consisting of Austria, France, Russia and Spain could beat them in military strength could beat them (that's why there is none).
At first I didn't bother so much, but now, their claims on my territory got them to be pissed about me. I know that my campaign will end as soon as they attack, I'm literally "holy shit" compared to them. They have 200 k men, followed by France and Russia, both only with 1/3 of that strength. Even worse is that even when they sent a small stack to attack someone and were outnumbered locally (against France), they beat them having far higher moral and so on.
Just look at the screenshots I got:

As you can see, they outnumber everyone. They are unstoppable. And they have infinite money and manpower too, expanding into my direction really damn fast, while just interfering in random wars regarding me.
Has anyone ever encountered such OP Ottomans yet?
If yes, what did you do? Do you think they are overpowered again? And does their military quality decline any time?

Thanks for any answers or help.
