Add Anti-Aircraft to Tanks

Recommended Posts

Call me silly, but tanks* do already help against aircraft. You get Ground Control over your opponent then 1/3 of their airforce is grounded. Which is quite useful if you're fighting an 'aircraft only' opponent

 

That being said, I do agree with the general idea that airstrikes shouldn't be invulnerable if you have no airforce. There has to be some % loss through AA

 

 

* well, ground units as a whole but tanks are the most powerful of those

what good are tanks if you have no air, having GC does nothing for that.

The whole point of people spamming about improving the war system as right now it takes ZERO skill to win, all you need is more nations/cities and just spam air attacks nothing more, adding a system where something other than planes can kill planes will improve the war system.

How about being able to hit planes with a new unit: The USS Enterprise! 

Map cost: 14 points. 

Dmg: 150% of total infra in target nation for 4/3 of its cities

Bonus effect: the nation can never again ask for tanks with anti air

I suggested anti aircraft guns a long time ago as a national project. It obviously would be hella expensive and it could ground a third of your aircraft.Which is realistic because those guns tend to hit friendly aircraft if you aren't careful.

The basic problem with the war system is that if you're attacked by multiple players employing any form of coordination then you can't buy back enough military forces per day to recover. Aircraft make such a win simpler for the attacker, but the same result would occur if aircraft were as single-focussed as naval & ground.

 

Having a % of aircraft losses to AA fire would be nice, but in a typical dog pile war would not actually help unless they were very high indeed.

 

Obvious example, I currently have 3 defensive wars, in the opening attacks my opponents dropped me from 1400ish aircraft to 400ish. I can buy under 300 per day. There is no possible way to recover. They are now effectively free to airstrike at will, but take out the option of hitting tanks, troops and ships by air and they would simply run coordinated naval and ground attacks with the same result as they  had against my aircraft.

Thats exactly why they were against it. They were anti-war and had a large forum population and were able to sway Alex on a number of things, like the military black market too
