AA Tech vs. airpower

Post by canuckgamer »

I'm wondering what the experience of other players is in regards to the highest tech level for AA standing up to air attacks from tactical and medium bombers at say ground support level 3? Do ground units still get demolished?

I'm also wondering about AA. I upgrade my mines etc. to the highest level and the strategic bombers still clobber them. The game doesn't show if they take any damage or not. I'd love some ideas about the best way to use AA.
Thanks.

Annnd AA units, and other ground units, are capped at +2. I had it up to 4 in my most recent game, Allied bombers still knocked most mines down to zero, cheating by turning FoW off revealed maybe 1 or 2 occ. damage hits to the buffs, which only got hit hard when I pulled off actual intercepts.

Tac & Med bombers go to level 3, Strats go to 5. If you have units (especially entrenched) with lv 2 AA in a city /fort with lv 4/5 AA its very effective in slowing down tacs & med bombers. This is very helpful later in the game.

No a vacant mine port with lv 5 AA vs a strat at lv 5 probably doesn't help enough to justify 50MPP.
