This tip is only for those that have unlocked Warhawks and Hellstorms. I have found that the best way to utilize airfield space is building 5 Hawks and 3 Hells. Obviously, that Hells are the only ones that can outrange Flak Turrets. This is really the only mission of the Hells. I use my Hawks to do most of the destroying with the Hells supporting. Use the Hells to distract bunkers and infantrymen. I always send in my Hells first and have them fire in sequence (not at the same time). This creates a constant stream of missiles to keep guns busy. Even if they're not hitting the ground, this opens up the opportunity to come in with the Hawks to destroy turrets, bunkers, and buildings. Even 3 L10 Hells can't destroy as fast as 5 L10 Hawks. Play around with it. I like it for my strategy. Hope this helps you all.
I was slaying bases before you even grew out of your Paladin diapers...

    For THAT scenario it won't work chan, but it seems like a solid tactic. I just use 5 Storms at level 10. No tanks.

    The option I'm now thinking about is 4 Storms, 4 COBRAS, 1 Reaper, and 1 Thunderbolt. I use Reaper/Bolt already for specific reasons. Cobras are better than hawks at level 10 for a few simple reasons. 1) repair time, 2) better against last stand 3) same range as hawks, 4) more OF them. 4 Cobras only do 100 DPS less damage than 2 hawks, but have more than twice the combined health. Range is the same, Cobras slightly slower. Since we already use Hellstorms, and I use Reapers, the speed isn't really an issue.

    Then all air is useless unless you can get the splash damage :). Now you can bait them out and thunderbolt them.

    Were 100% the BAD guys. We jump every 8 days and do whatever we want! Sector rules are meant to be broken!

    There is no best air combo. The best is which you enjoy using the most. I have used 5 Hellstorms and 2 Cobras, I have also used Havok and Cobras and also used Elite Warhawks. There is no perfect one. All are good and bad at certain things. The good thing about this game is that there are so many combinations that work for you. Some people use ground units whilst other prefer air units. What ever lights your candle.
    Event  Units:- Elite Valkyrie, Attack Dog, Elite Rifleman, Honey Badger, Elite Heavy Gunner, Elite Gatling Truck + Schematic, Elite Laser Tank + Schematic, Shock Trooper, Stinger, Flak Tank, Drone Silo, Elite Warhawk, Hellstorm, Plasma Turret, Elite Hellfire,  + Schematic, Reaper Drone,  Elite Shock Tank,  Elite Gladiator, Elite Mega Tank, Crusader, FAV, Viper, Widowmaker, Spectre, Titan

    Sickles:- Collossus, Havoc, Behemoth, Vanguard

    Wishlist:- Valk Schematic, FAV Schematic, Enforcers,  Hover Tank

    I hate when u r doing a rouge 4 res and u bust up the powerstation after its collapse the heavy gunmen start shooting back and my hawks shot back but they r dropping like flies to the ground how do u not lose hawks and still shot the heavy gun men I am using lvl11 or 10+ which ever you prefer and why do the hawk and cobras when you click on a target fly right into it every time I click on a machine gun its will they stop or fly straght into itbut when the target is smaller they the hawks have a higher chance of doing it flying straight into thr line of fire and when you are only using 6 warhawks and 3 rapters you dont have a lot to play with

    Make sure when you click on turrets, troops, vehicles that you see a red circle; this indicates that your air team will attack. if you click beside whatever you may be trying to attack and it shows a quick green circle then that means your aircraft will just fly to that point. Also make sure that once you do see the red circle and click on whatever your trying to attack that you just click on it once and not multiple times because sometimes it will click beside the enemy with the green circle and then your enemy will shoot down your aircraft.
