Bombing

Post by HOTEC »

What is the difference between bombing a unit before attack and full support during battle?

Bombing a unit reduces effectiveness.

Using them as ground support adds to the attackers combat value.

The trick is know when to use it.

It is not a science but more of an art :) . But roughly, after one, maybe two strikes, better to have the rest on GS (because ground strikes are less and less effective, and only the first one can actually kill steps, not just reduce readiness).

Unless you have many many air units, then you might want to pound a unit to very low readiness level if the attack is that important. The "feel" will come with lots of practice and will never be perfect.

Which is the intention. It isn't SC3 where you can blow up units with air strikes.

Thanks for answering, I also want to know it. If I want to know more, I will ask by starting my own thread. I had a last-minute paper to complete, so I decided to use https://domypaper.com/ The service was fantastic. The writer delivered a high-quality paper that was well-organized and insightful. The communication was smooth, and the paper was delivered on time. I’m extremely satisfied with the service and the quality of work. This service made my life so much easier, and I’ll definitely use it again in the future.
