Air Farce Follies - Friendly Fire Isn't

[Suhiir]

When you come down to it all aircraft are is airborne artillery.

Perhaps (sometimes) more accurate, perhaps (sometimes) more destructive...but still really nothing more then artillery.

As I've said in other threads, given the point cost/damage done ratio I think aircraft are far to expensive in WinSPMBT...but they're fun to play with !

Given cost/benefit ratio I personally find helo's to be far more effective vs vehicles. Tho I'll freely admit a nice bomb/napalm run will mess up infanty far more effectively then anything else in the game.

And unless you're targeting a fixed target (fortification, most AI artillery, etc.) you target an area with aircraft and let it pick it's target because its impossible select a specific target for an airstrike.

I've done airstrikes both ways and found if you pinpoint a target then even if it moves few hexs it will find it.
But that maybe the target didn't move or moved slowly.

Most airstrikes come in 3 turns or less opposed to 6 or more for bombers.

Tried second guessing where it "target" will move and got disaster.

just my 2 cents worth
