1 I think that the appropriate anti-air cover is pretty situational, and sometimes your air player can't help you very much. 1 I think that the appropriate anti-air cover is pretty situational, and sometimes your air player can't help you very much.

3 If your army is a bunch of Minotaurs and Goliaths that want to dive into enemy positions and even behind enemy lines, and the opponent has a decent amount of ground-based AA, you cannot really expect your air player to follow you in and get all their Swifts killed. You have to either bring your own AA or just absorb the damage from the bombers in that case. Even just dangling a Lance or something a bit too close to the front line can result in a Likho strike which your air player cannot do a lot about - the Likho is just not exposed for long enough, and chasing a Likho deep behind enemy lines to shoot it down is often not a winning proposition. 3 If your army is a bunch of Minotaurs and Cyclops that want to dive into enemy positions and even behind enemy lines, and the opponent has a decent amount of ground-based AA, you cannot really expect your air player to follow you in and get all their Swifts killed.

5 If the other team has a Chainsaw or something covering the front line, your team's bombers may be able to get in now and then but it's not terribly practical for your teammate to fight a pitched fighter battle there, unless you also have substantial ground-to-air assets. Similar story against a gunship player with a bunch of Tridents. 5 If the other team has a Chainsaw or something covering the front line, your team's bombers may be able to get in now and then but it's not terribly practical for your teammate to fight a pitched air-to-air battle there, unless you also have substantial ground-to-air assets.
