@ShadowHAwk:
CV are better then airbases in any case.
That is a bold statement good sir. There are no cases where it would be preferable to have a AB defending a SZ with 2-3 FTR than a CV?
@ShadoHAwk:
The AB cannot move to protect transports somewhere else, and it does not increase the range of the planes that much.
CV can be used in an invasion of gibraltar or novgorod or protect western germany, an AB is just sitting there.
Lets just look at Germany, specifically their FTR and TAC.
The AB in W. Germany can hit Novgorod and have units land in Baltic states.
The AB in W. Germany covers the German Fleet in two SZ
You can hit Gibraltar from Algeria with FTR/TC OR build a AB in S. Europe and FTR/TAC can hit them and go to Northern Africa. Plus now you cover every SZ along the Med for a Allied invasion.
I seem to be confused. Is it not the Dark Skies Axis plan of attack that uses all this AB ability for Germany/Axis to project a huge amount of air power all over Europe?
I simply propose buying a few AB in some key spots to double down on this projection of power and all of sudden it is the death of Germany.
Iam discombobulated by the power of SZ102, a total mind blowing experience.
