Default Re: Is airpower useful in WinSPMBT?

For me, the only real use of aircrafts are in anti-personnel and anti light targets, with CBUs and such area weapons. Direct hits with Mavericks and similar are simply not worth the cost, too many errors.
Instead i prefer using the flight spot for an UAV, or even better an attack helo.

One thing i found REALLY good, and a total surprise to me, was the power of level bombers armed with heavy bombs like the 2000 lbs of the B52.
One thing i found out with the heavier bomb loads is that they do damage also in adjacent hexs, covering in fact a 3 hexes path of death and destruction.
They can really obliterate entire companies of enemies, it's such an insane pleasure to see an enemy attack route turned into a bloody grave

I never considered cluster munitions sufficiently effective in SPMBT. So I increased their effectiveness using mobhack. I increased the AP kill and penetration alot and the HE some. I also always thought that AA weapons were too effective, especially guns. Nothing I could do about that.

A-10 is always useful and I agree with Level Bombers also.

Most other aircraft I use to scout since UAV's don't survive.

Getting hit by anything larger than a pebble in an aircraft doing 400 mph is always going to give you a bad day. On the other hand considering the AIs truly vapid execution of attack runs I'd like to have control of the aircraft back. There is no way that an aircraft on a run would engage the T-80 MBT that it was asked to engage when a ZSU is a 100 meters away and firing.
