Need to use Bombers and fighters

[LaRo]

So it won't be possible to win only by stacking tanks.

We will need aircrafts.

What will be different in C3C concerning their uses, stats, the system, etc...?

this sounds good, it seems like the general thoughts of strategy have been mass tanks and ICBM's. although effective, there should be a greater need for air forces.

The only thing I've heard is that they'll have lethal bombardment (prob. both sea and land).

There'll be two new ground based AA to counter them too.

I suspect there'll be a little stat tweaking of the Aircraft involved also.

I'm pretty sure you still can win with stacks of Tanks, if you're technologically ahead far enough, or if you can outproduce anyone. But I figure you can no longer win the classical endgame war on Emperor+ against an at least equally powerful opponent only with tanks, which is something I really appreciate. Let's not forget you also should need a powerful navy now for most maps.
As a Panzergeneral veteran, I really like this chamges.

I really hope this proves to be the case..... but I guess we'll know for sure next week. Guess I'm skeptical as to how much and how well they improved naval combat and the AI's use of ships.

I believe there is no more one type of warfare war(like only using land unit)
in the conquest

At higher levels you will NOT be able to win a warmonger game without air power and at least a little thought to your navy.

Well I loved it when my three carriers, each loaded with bombers and protected by destroyers and battleships - which were attacked by the Korean ships, were responsible for the greatest damage on some of Korea's cities and unit stacks. With my marines and modern paratroopers it was a great alternative to just blasting away with tanks.

I just wish that you could load up your paratroopers in a aircraft that has the range of a bomber (but to balance it out it would fly the whole distance as such and be vulnerable to AA fire) and be able to drop them further inland. As when you are playing a map of large Islands your Paratroopers are limited in their use to your nearest airbase.

Naval airborne troops. now thats a cool concept. Kinda like the strategy the Japanese used in Dec 41.

Bombers are good now. Use them.
