I find myself not using many unit types because they seem useless.
Future Military:
I couldn't wait to get the cyborgs built up and test them out in a war just to find out how useless they are. RIFLEMEN took out 2 cyborg units with ease so I stopped producing them out of disgust. I find myself primarily spamming the modern armor tanks, and keeping big mech at important places, and that lethal big tank and a few fighter jets to swat those pesky airships. Everything else seems to be a waste of production time, especially when I'm being attacked by 2-3 nations. I may send in some ground troops just to let my tanks heal for a while.
Bombing:
I tried bombing a few cities using the fighter jet and felt like I was just throwing dirt on them. The jets just really helped with taking out the AI airships that like to bomb my units. Are there any effective bombers in this game that can actually take enemy units out?
Also I wanted to see what a biological warfare missile can do since I could never get nukes (even though I had access to uranium) but I have no idea how to use them. When I hover for a target, I only get a grey box and I'm not sure if they launched or not. I'm thinking the tile should turn green.....not sure what to do here.
Naval Ships:
Are there any sea ships that can attack a land based target like in real life? By instinct I started sending my military fleets around the world at key positions but I only experience using my battleships and the ones with the missiles to fight other weaker boats from early times. Seems like a waste of good hardware that could've caused shock and awe from left field to a coastal city.
I have a feeling these observations of mine are because of my ignorance since I'm a new player. I saw some very powerful foot soldiers take out 3 of my modern armor tanks in one turn. So is it a matter of somehow upgrading the units be stronger? If so how do I go about doing that? I did manage to get the great general in my capital a few times and assign them to units but its not like I get them frequently enough to effect a large percentage of my army. Any help is appreciated.
