Hello Johnny,Have you looked at fighters recently? They now can be set to moving randomly or roaming. These modes allow them to fuel automatically and continue their flight with no intervention or chance of running out of fuel. They are very important against enemy ships, especially subs and battleships. Try the battle of Britain map and I am sure you will change your mind. I admit that they are only marginally useful in land-only battles, but if you want to quickly focus defense or offense on distant locations, fighters are the only way to fly. Also, by setting flight paths from city to city or carrier, you don't need to baby sit them at all. In your current mission with 25 fighters, the next time you land a major attack against an enemy stronghold, bring in all of your fighters. You will have probably cleaned out the enemy's defenses with that kind of power.Come to think of it, I have more fun with fighters than any other unit.

They take awhile to build, take more managing than the rest, and theydon't really do much cept for getting shot down all the time lol. Granted they're nice to scout with, but even then, if you don't keep themnear your cities, they go bye-bye either by out of fuel or by enemy hands. My current game got like 20 fighters on my side, and most I do with them isto keep them out of the ways of others. "No one ever kicked ass by saying I can't."

The game does have a learning curve, ---- thoughimho this wasn't a bad thing (indeed quite the opposite), but I've now been able to defeat the computer on the 2nd skillevel on a battle sizedmap, -- which is actually an improvement from my slaughterings yesterday!I must say, I'm deeply impressed with the game, ---- particularly with theinterface and flexibility of overview and controls. As I've said before, my spacial perception is pretty pathetic, I'm distinctly not the best person at overviewing and managing many objectspositions in a large area from audio information alone. i even find sudokuand solitare difficult to play. However, as with audio 3D I find the interface in Toc gives so many ways of finding information, it's entirely playable and perceiveable, ---- I particularly love the context sensative lists! it doesn't matter if Iforget where my infantry are, or have them roaming around somewhere, sinseI can just go to where I want them, hit alt I, and get a menue listing distance. This is great, --- -and indeed an idea I'd never had before. i've alwaysfound sound rts rather hard to play, principley because I can't keep lotsof spacial information in my head, --- but the contextual lists are fantastic, ---- especially for overviews.in fact, I'm now wondering if there are any plans to add more units to thegame. Thus far, naval warfare is great, ---- but the land and air opperations imho could bennifit from a few more strategical units to play with. As to what, --- well I was wondering about perhaps defensive artiliary (say alt u), which could move at only one square per turn, would need to be set down for a turn before attacking, ---- but could bombard thingsmost successfully (especially enemy fighters and ships), and bombers (alt V), ---- heavier and slower planes which could bombard the enemy, but had a very limited movement capacity, ---- perhaps only able to move 3 spacesa turn, and have a fuel capacity of 12 or even 10, thus making it necessary to have an air craft carrier as base. Other units such as transport planes heavy armour or light infantry, orrmaybe the ability to fortify cities could be added as well, ----really it just depends upon what would balance best, but I really would like to seeland battles made as interesting and complex as sea ones are currently, ---- pluss of course fortifications and other defensive measures could be interesting as well.Whether other units get added or not, I'm certainly deeply impressed with the game thus far, both for it's complexity, and especially for it's greatoverview system, ---- and i'll very likely be buying it when it's out.
