It's really not worth using aircraft in WW2 IMO,you may be better at it than myselfb however

My biggest issue with air is if there is for example a tank and an HT close to the strike area it always seems that it is my luck that it goes for the HT! I still stick by my experience that air strikes are worth spending a bit of points on.

Yeah they they seem alwalys attack the weakest(lower cost) targets,not the ones you may have intented

IMO don't waste money on aircraft that have fire control scores 10 or under...stick with stukas, typhoons, etc. that have hight fire control of 15-25 points.

I'd still go with med. and or hvy arty,to get more sustained bang for my buck
