I have noticed that the losses are high with fighters if the target is near. Fighters prove to work best when the target is 2-3 countries away from the base. Also rememeber to set up with 1000 fp/ 1000 drones.

yeah drones get shot down before the fighters do and provide a cheap shield

From my experiences I seem to lose less fighters when attacking the defense wings if I use a whole 1000 to attack the first one and then 500 to attack the last one. On the occasions when I tried to be cheap and use just 200 or 300 per round of attacks it seems to eat up planes and ammo much more before the defense wing is destroyed.

Remember when you are using any air weapon on a bordering country that you MUST have an LRD near the target in order for the Fighter Planes, or Navy Fighter Planes to work properly. If you do not border the country this isn't required.

Does it have to be a LRD? Will other units work?

Other Landing or Ground units work.

Yes Barney, you were helpful to me too. New Lethal is better country because of you. I still haven't mastered the Barney-style warfare on FB. But I've been experimenting to improve my war tactics. Recently, Lasher knocked me to the ground, but I got back up after losing two slaves and fought back. Reading the forum posts and networking with skilled players is helpful.

I'm going to try navy fighter plane attacks with different types of landing and ground units soon.

In my short past, my 200-300 plane attacks have had heavier losses and done less damage on targets too.

Guns Up!

And for that you can bite my gummy-worm.

Is your rubber worm scented? Purple? My favorite rubber worms are the purples. So seductive. Im a lunker you know!

BTW, I screwed up an attack today and lost about 800FP in one swipe. Ouch. Must be more careful.

Ground unit next to air defence 800 fighter versus 400 interceptors (200 in unit being attacked 200 in supporting unit) result fihters get slaughterd. Coclusion- fighter planes are indeed useless.

Shhh. Dammit Dirt.

You always let the forum lulz go on for as long as possible.

Someday you will understand people never listen to sound, reasonable, advice. Which yours was a fine example of.

All joking apart are interceptors tougher than they used to be? Even navy fighters seem to be taking heavier loses than before.
