I THINK AIR POWER IS THE TRUE KEY TO SUCSESS


-Navel Bombers, in proper numbers and excorted, realy good killing Royal Navy

-Tactical, good vs infastrukture, effecting ESE, making defense not good, making reorg longer, fort buld up time increese, and perfect for Runnway, Port, and Logistical strikes, also very helpfull vs troops

-Close Air Support, is my best fraind, killing enemy org effectivly, close to the front, it has short range, so it can be escorted by reguler fighter, but the range pays off in effectivety, and prise.

-Fighters from my mighty Luftwaffe, securing German Air Suprimecy, and opening the door to victory.

Well i think proper use of Air forse realy is key essensial for an mobile attacking army, slowing retreating troops, if attacking infastruktur, effective aigenst organisation of enamy, Good vs navy, destroying forts, delaying supplay, well totaly it can be an evil tool of destruction, if proparly used, Realy good to support in hard situations.





Many think Airpower is waste, i think it is essensial to win.

Air power can be very effective, but i think it would be impossible to have total air supremacy as Germany. For campaigning it is very usefull to create air supremacy but total air supremacy will be gone when USA or USSR decideds to put some fighters over europe.

But im a supporter of building a good airforce as they cost little MP and are very effective when used extensively.
 
Airforce is nice when you have build your army so large you get into TC problems. Before that happens, airforce is a waste of IC (except a few nav bmb).

How do you know what your version is?
 
Hello all!
I agree that an air force is generally important. It is especially important in countries with a lack of manpower. An air force allows quick reaction to any location and properly used it will destroy retreating forces, or allow a close battle to be a victory. But I also agree that for some countries an air force could be viewed as a waste of time.
For Germany it is a must! Germany has a real manpower problem and air units are only 2 manpower each. A properly used air force can do so many different things it is worth the investment.
I have learned over time and experimentation that I wasn’t using air units up to their potential. Now that I have a better understanding of air units I believe they are worth the investment. I’m still certain I don’t make full use of my air units even now.

A classic example is when someone makes a breakthrough in your front, bombing the infrastructure as hard as you can greatly increases the amount of time for the breakthrough units (usually tanks) to continue their attack. Thus giving your infantry time to react.
This is but one of many possible examples. All I am saying is perhaps you should experiment with air units considerably before condemning them.
