Yes that makes sense with the aircraft carrier and obviously is a united fleet from the allies really strong so early in the game. To strike down an AC with two FIG, a BB and lets say three TRN you need a big luftwaffe and it won’t be economically (you see I thougt about it :-D). But I still think a fleet without a loaded AC is in danger in range of air units.

And BTW I posted in this forum to be convinced by somebody that I’m wrong. It coudn’t be so easy just with air units.
Anyway, thanks for your detailed answer.

Ok sorry but you could be a little bit more friendly with people which have (probably) newbie question. However if this forum just is for vets then I won’t post again.

Ok so I aks how do you manage your fleet to resist air units from land (and possibly some cannon fodder on sea). If you have ground units in the transporters what do you use then for fodder? submarines?

I just can say that in all my games the air units dominated the game in the most regions.
Thanks.

PS: Don’t be too hard because of my language. I give my best  :-)

Hi everbody  :-)

Until now I’ve played the game only a few times but overall I think the air units are much too strong. Naval units are totally unimportant because if they are near to the coast I smash the hole fleet up with my fighters and bombers and they can’t do anything against that…. or am I wrong? That’s my question…

A fighter only costs two bugs more than a transporter or a submarine (the submarine can’t even fire on air units). All other naval units are more expensive than a fighter. That means the casualties of the fleet owner is much higher. Additional the air units are protected in the coast lands by inf’s and tanks.

Once the fleet of an enemy is destroyed he can never again gain a strong fleet because of the air units.

The second advantage is that the air units are also usable on land. The third advantage is the defense power of the fighters. The fourth advantage is that the air units often aren’t in the frontline, so they are (again) protected.

And so far I didn’t say anything of the research for the air units…

Has somebody any inputs for me… Do I understand the rules wrong? Thanks for your answers.  :-)
