Having said I mostly pick targets behind the main line of resistance, I should point out that I still find aircraft a well worth while investment. Finding choice targets aways from friendly units, is not all that difficult.
I often purchase two or more aircraft, and usually find I get my moneys worth, once you factor in the additional intel gained, and the psychological/harassing effect it has on your opponent.
In my most recent battle, a pair of Mossies slightly damaged the only two Tigers on the battlefield, immobolised a Pz III and I think damaged an APC. One of the Mosquitos did get damaged by AAA and had to RTB. |
Yes, Colonel your airstrikes were quite unnerving, and gave one an appreciation of why a lot of photos of Panzer Crews showed them searching the skies!!
