We all use air support in our missions and conquest. Today I am posting about how to use airsupport and missiles for maximum result in conquest. Note that these tips do not go sometimes for an airfield ruled by an airforce general.
1 Fighters
Fighters are very useful when you have to take out (several groups) infantry. However fighters are not well against tanks etc. The best way to use fighters is only on infantry, sometimes artillery, and low tier cities or cities with low health. (see pic 1)
2 Bombers
Bombers must be used wisely. City hopping with bombers is expensive and not smart. Never Never Never use bombers on infantry not guarded by airdefence!!! Bombers are however extremely useful against armored vehicles and navy. Taking out the last health of a city can be done with bombers but in most cases fighters are better for the job.
3 Strategic Bombers
These things are extremely useful against cities since it almost ignores airdefence. It does very high damage against cityhealth (around 40-50 damage, see picture). Strategic bombers can be used on troops but it is wise to only use them against Super Tanks.
4 Atomic Bombs
Useful against capitals and big cities. Also common used on carriers, super tanks and high generals. Hydrogen and Antimatterbombs are also common used as 'swiper' to kill hordes of troops in an area since they both have splash damage.
5 Airforce generals
Highly improving air and missile attack and . Not recommended for players who have just begun.
6 Missiles
Most times used as transport for nuclear weps. Useful to attack strong navy and troops. Is able to attack cities but strategic bomber is better against cities. Damage can only be reduced by anti-missile and shelter expert.
7 Paratroopers
Drops infantry in radius of maximum 6 hexes away from the airfield (can be upgraded). Common used as expedition troops to take out remaining cities (see picture) or quickly send support to the frontier.(see pic) Infantry level (light-assault-motorized-commando) can be upgraded in the tech tree. Most people stop their upgrade when they have reached the motorized, since it is a all-around troop (versatile), high movement, high city attack. However after upgrading to commando you have the ability to 'jump' 9 hexes away from the airport. City hopping : take out the city health as seen in the first picture of the post, this can be with a strategic bomber or atomic bomb. The finishing touch is done by the fighter. Then drop a paratrooper in it, and POOF you have your city. Be aware that the other countries are also city hopping and you must get their airfields neutralized as soon as possible.
