Perhaps I should rephrase my post to say air needs two new weapons from which multiple units might spring. The two weapons are regular explosive bombs, and air to ground missiles.

Blastwing
plane?
Where
did
you
get
that
idea?
An
inexpensive
bomber
doesn't
have
to
be
a
super
cheap
kamikaze
plane.
I
was
thinking
about
a
120
to
150
metal
bomber
which
deals
a
bit
of
splash
damage.
Say,
450
damage
in
a
small
radius.
It
can
gib
mexes
and
light
units.
But
it's
fragile
and
dies
to
one
hit
from
a
Hacksaw,
so
one
Hacksaw
can
stop
two.
Best
used
away
from
enemy
AA
when
you
have
air
superiority.
It's
basically
a
just
plane
raider.

I thought the rules were we couldn't change existing units. But splitting the Licho into a big, heavy splash bomber and a smaller single-target sniper plane using missiles would work.

I didn't mean the gunship's missiles would actually outrange anti-air. I was more thinking that the gunship would sit outside the range of the anti-air and shoot targets that would be covered by that anti-air, such as against gunships like Banshees or Blackdawns. The range doesn't let you snipe the anti-air, it lets you stay outside it and still deal damage. You just need to stay further away from a Screamer or Chainsaw.

What air units would you like to have?
