Default Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.

Aircraft with JDAMs/Mavericks or other "smart" munitions are fairly useful, but yeah, those with "dumb" munitions are really more eye candy then anything else. Once in a blue moon something amazing will happen (like the time three B-52s actually hit the target area) but for the most part given the unit cost they are a waste of a significant number of points.

SEAD aircraft however work fairly well. I recall someone once saying they bought only SEAD types and I can't say I blame them, because they'll at least prioritize AA which can be quite handy if you also have helos.
