Landing fighters question

@xzorn:

Who bombs a territory that they intend to capture?

Since the invention of bombs, I would say just about everyone.

I forgot all about this sticky thread in player help which applies to this question.  :oops:

How about one bomber a turn instead, at least for the first couple of turns?  The cost isn’t that much more, the attack ability is slightly better, and the additional range is a significant advantage.  I like to build up a force of at least three bombers that can range around to various trouble spots (Gibraltar, Egypt, Russia, France, the Atlantic), wherever trouble rears its head, or wherever additional force is needed for an attack.

mantlefan is correct.

A&A:Europe subs cannot take hits from airplanes unless the attacking units have destroyer with them.

So attacking AC & 2 subs is really good option, for taking 18ipc boat down and having 50/50 of not losing a plane.

destroyers only have an attack role of 2 during amphibious assaults.

@Anonymous:

also to note, if you attack a territory and win, u may NOT move there on non-combat. remember, all combat, non-combat, unit development, and the rest occur at the same time. so u cant land a plane in a place where there is a battle taking place.

for some reason i thought this was only true for aircraft (i.e. runways take a turn to build . . . ).

For the Allies to win, the Soviet counterattacks must be focused – and lucky! Build/borrow as many fighters as you can. Also I advise NOT strategic bombing. I cannot see how the high risk of aircraft loss is worth the gain of turning six German IPCs into ash. Gimme a break. Take out a couple of Wehrmacht infantry, and strafe & bomb Panzer divisions from the safety of a combined air-ground attack, and you can wipe out dozens of IPC value, with zero threat to your expensive air wings. Much better deal every time.

Meanwhile, the order of the day for the Yanks and Brits is to correctly manage the balance of transports, destroyers & troops they’ll need for D-Day. Simplify: Tan boats will haul tan troops, green will haul green. See if you can steal a forward fighter base, maybe best in Norway.

Avanti!

i’m sorry to say this has to be one of the dumbest questions i have read so far. if a sub has no defense to air planes how in the he!! are they going to attack land. and no torpedos don’t fly. and no there were no ballistic missile subs at the time.
