Default Re: Air to Ground Attacks

Air attacks are hard to use effectively....I find that you have to set the angle of ingress and egress to allow for the lest exposure to AA fire....I also try to have the have several and have them all arrive on the same turn or after suppressing any AA guns with artillery....If nothing else they are good for spotting hidden units sometimes...On the first turn of the game I shut off the main bomb load and send groups of aircraft across the board and they can usually spot several concentrations of troops...I seldom pick spotter planes...They just don't survive long enough and usually get shot down without seeing anything.
