I’m noticing the Russians are still in Amur. Just want to make sure that’s intentional and not that they were missed.

Intercept Moscow? 3 bombers vs 2 fighters.

Sure, send em up. Let’s hope for 6 1’s. Just to be fair ;) .

Well, we got half way there. Apologies to the Russian air force.

Combat Hit Differential Summary :

I think that question might be a bit flawed, or at least a tad misleading for newer players. What you soon find out as you gain A&A experience is that a naval force has a high level of inter-dependency between units. Even if you could determine a unit with the highest individual value, you’ll quickly find out that spamming that unit doesn’t necessarily maximize the value of your navy as a whole. The whole can be greater than the sum of the parts, and sometimes the worst individual unit adds the most value to the group.

Take transports as an example. Transports are arguably the worst individual unit, but even a single transport changes the threat level of a navy completely. All of a sudden it’s capable of sniping a capital, taking away a national objective, or grabbing an under-defended area where a new factory can be set up and create an endless headache for your opponent.

I’m actually going to split my answer into two categories. Also, I should point out that I’m talking from a G40 perspective.

1. What’s the best value naval unit?

Subs, definitely. Subs provide some of the best utility in the game. Let’s talk about some reasons why:

• Attack Value -> Cheapest IPC cost per unit or cost per attack value in naval attacks.
• Defense Value -> Cheapest cost for absorbing an additional hit.
• Convoy Raids -> Can be spread out alone or in groups to get good value from convoy raids.
• Destroyer Trade -> Lone subs require a destroyer to kill, so if you are trading 1 for 1 on alternating turns you are getting better value than your opponent. Same for if you’re clearing out blockers.
• Precarious Placement -> It’s often difficult to build new naval units because your opponent has air coverage over your placement area. Subs are immune to the air coverage if there are no destroyers in range allowing you to squeeze them out in tense situations.
• Deny Offloading -> A single sub will deny offloading for an amphibious assault unless there’s a warship escort. This can increase your value in a situation where your opponent just wants to suicide a transport for a high value territory. Now they have to send an extra unit with the transport.
• Create Kamikaze Opportunities -> Following on the above point, this is especially important in a kamikaze zone since any surface warships accompanying a transport in order to ignore a sub are subject to kamikaze strikes. If the escort dies the amphibious assault will fail.
• Ignore Kamikaze Strikes -> Subs can’t be hit by kamikazes, so they can be utilized with air units to take out targets in kamikaze zones with immunity.

It’s still possible to over-build subs, but probably the hardest unit to over-build since you can usually find a primary or secondary use for them. Remember that subs provide no help if your opponent can strike the rest of your navy with an air-only attack. You’re still going to need some carriers, destroyers and fighters to protect those transports.

2. What’s the best strategic/game winning naval unit?

The aircraft carrier. Aircraft carrier usage in conjunction with aircraft really separate the “men from the boys” in terms of experience and skill level. This is probably worthy of its own topic/video, but understanding the barely-legal and obscure attacks that become available with aircraft carriers is where a more experienced player can exploit one with less experience.

Aircraft carriers really expand your threat projection and generate mistakes out of your opponent because they increase the number and complexity of problems to keep track of. Here are some examples of carrier plays that can change the game:

• Using newly purchased carriers as unexpected landing zones
• Deliberately failing to clear a path for your carrier so that you can suicide planes into high value targets (e.g. undefended transports)
• Using the turn order to create an unexpected landing area by parking an empty carrier for allied planes to land on
• Using the turn order to extend the range of onboard allied aircraft (carrier moves first and then allied planes move on their own turn)
• Intentionally killing off planes that require an aircraft carrier to land first so that the carrier doesn’t have to move into danger during non-combat moves
• The land/carrier switch, AKA “Yard Sale” explained below

The biggest threat I see get overlooked is what I like to call the “Yard Sale”. Where I come from we played a lot of ice hockey and called it a “yard sale” when substituting all of the active players at once. In ice hockey you can substitute players while play is ongoing. The rules on this are a bit loose, so while you’re limited to 5 (6 with goaltender) players on the ice at any time, for a fleeting moment you can have up to 10 players on the ice during the exchange. In A&A you can have a similar situation where your carrier-based aircraft can participate in a battle and land elsewhere, while land-based aircraft also participate in the same battle with intentions of landing on the now empty carriers. So, for example, if the setup is right you can send 12 aircraft into a battle when you’ve only got 3 carriers and many players will slip up and forget to account for this.

So, to make a long story short, if you want to make an incremental change to your usual navy mix, probably get more subs. If you want to up your strategic game, study how great players use their aircraft carriers. Apologies for how long this got.

@Tizkit said in 19L 2nd Tier Playoff Final – BobbaRossa (Allies +34) vs Tizkit (Axis) G40.2:

@BobbaRossa

I’m having an issue where I want to kill off the two land based infantry hitting Greece and leave the one amphibious infantry, however Triple A seems to default to killing off the amphibious infantry. I’m going to go ahead and retreat to Bulgaria with the tank. Triple A will force the infantry to go with it. I will just go ahead with the turn and roll the infantry on the forum if necessary, and delete it after the battle if need be.

I didn’t need to roll the infantry manually since one of the other units hit. You’ll see I killed off the infantry in Bulgaria and revived the artillery in Greece that Triple A made me take as a casualty instead.
