The confusion seems to be in you’re holding back naval ships for naval bombardment. The advantage about scrambling planes is that it forces the attacker to commit all their naval ships regardless if they want to or not. That’s why it is sometimes wise to scramble in a losing battle if the enemy is relying on bombardment for victory. The easiest situation would be when Japan invades the Philippine islands. If Japan was so aggressive that all they brought was two infantry with two cruisers as example. I would scramble the fighter in that situation because while I will lose the sea battle, if you choose to invade the island after the battle, you’re doing it without naval support which gives my defending infantry a better chance at winning.
STRENGTH OF G40 UNITS???
-
What is the strength of the units in Axis and Allies Global 1940 based on their cost, and are there any obsolete units in that game???
-
No unit is obselete. Especially units you start with on the board. Use everything!
Are there some units that are purchased less often? Yes. Lots of them, but there is still usually the occasion that calls for them.
Battleships, Cruisers, and AAA’s are probably the least purchased units, but they are critical units to have on the board.
-
cruisers have been proven by AAcalc to be obsolete because they are inferior in combat and their ability is worse than the DD’s ability.
-
cruisers can shore bombard @3 for free, again and again and again. Totally worth it in some situations.
-
aircraft carriers defend better than a cruiser and the planes on the carrier can attack the land in an amphibious assault…EVERY ROUND, so obsolete.
