Fallout Re: Airstrike Question

I agree with the above responses, with a minor exception in that if your opponent likes to play using logistics support as part of their force make up, then you'll have issues using air power. I'm one of those players they're there in "RL" so I'll "spend the money" on them if you will. However this comes at a cost at least in regards to playing against the AI. Your supply units will in most cases have the biggest target on them as compared to the rest of your units from all "direct fire" units that it can get a shot it them under less threatening situations to the AI, including from planes. And the AI is "smart" enough to know when facing AA units to have air support to specifically target your AA units but, what I've seen is if it can't take out both AA and supply unit, it'll mostly ensure it takes out your supply unit.

So overall, you're really looking at a "cost versus benefit" situation.

I'll personally pay the cost.

Regards,
Pat
