1 You're right Google. When I say Fighters have had their HP buffed massively to survive land AA I don't mean they're good at it. The fact they still drop like flies even with all their HP just shows how instagibby AA is, because you just cannot afford to spend time dogfighting on top of it. 1 You're right Google.

3 But, early game, you cannot afford AA. It is just fighter vs fighter, until there is established land AA. There is then a small window where you have enough land AA to stop enemy fighters, but not enough to stop bombers. That is the window when bombers are useful, and I don't think it's very large. The team that loses the air war has to invest a lot more in AA or be bombed, but IMO the main purpose of planes is forcing AA rather than doing damage. 3 But, early game, you cannot afford AA.

5 I agree with everything Licho said, except that I think activables are not the answer. That planes being mandatory in 4v4+ is fine, but it IS a problem if planes are boring, which is why it's under 'planes vs plane is boring', I. E, you can't just opt out. 5 I agree with everything Licho said, except that I think activables are not the answer.
