Ships vs Air

[Demon]

Naval Ships are aquatic vessels used in maritime operations. They are used to blockade nations from trading, damage infrastructure, and destroy aircraft. To manufacture naval ships you need drydocks in your cities. Each drydock can produce up to 1 ship per day.

 

 

 

didn't find any way to destroy aircrafts with ships

[Vincent]

of course you wont, I mean if the airfield are located deep inland, then how are the ships going to destroy the airplane? unless you are saying the ship of your nation is so special, it can float up into mid air, fly towards the airfield and destroy those plane

[Demon]

we are talking there not about reality but about game mechanic.

Ships can only target infrastructure and fellow ships, as far as I can remember. They haven't changed much since their inception in alpha, so I think the description is a mistake on Sheepy's part.

Ships can destroy aircraft, that's why they have anti-aircraft guns on them. 

 

Ships destroying aircraft is defensive in nature.  It's been awhile since I've done an air strike on navy, but I do believe some number of attacking aircraft are destroyed.  So the game mechanics are correct.  Ships destroy aircraft but only when they are being attacked, as it should be.  Ships cannot be used offensively to attack aircraft.

[Atzuya]

Hm, pretty sure those aircraft loses were from the opponent aircrafts instead of from the ships :?

 

You do have to go through the enemy air fleet to get to the ships

Ships cannot hurt aircraft, soldiers cannot hurt aircraft, and tanks cannot hurt aircraft. Only aircraft can hurt aircraft. Attacking ships means fighting your opponents aircraft.

Ground control can make planes worth half a plane. (Or maybe half the number of planes)

It doesn't actually destroy the planes, which is what I was getting at

This is just a mistaken description, likely from a long, long time ago. Ships themselves can't damage aircraft, and I'll fix the description to reflect that.
