Every unit has a purpose, but some are just less useful. What unit finds itself on the battlefield least for you?
For me it's submarines.
Not to say I don't produce them, but I prefer destroyers.

Ah yes the strategic bombers, why use them at all? Why destroy the buildings if they could be to good use to you once you have taken the city. They are however interesting to use them when a player has built a nuclear reactor but spies can do the job too.
Mech infantry are great. They are the fastest unit in the game, they are amazingly good against tanks, they have a very good anti air value too. The are great against infantry, tanks, aproach a railroadgun or artillery fast, deal a lot of damage planes. What more could you wish for.

I love them, but their key problem is that they are countered by the same thing as medium tanks, unlike motorized infantry.

Mech.infantry is good but motorized infantry is better imo. Mech.infantry is slow and expensive, even if its strong. And they are defenitely not the fastest unit in the game.

Agree. And If for some reason you want to destroy somebodies economy rockets are better anyway.

I use to find them terrible, but someone once started using strategic bombers systematically against my airport (before they were hidden from the view), and it was incredibly efficient. I earned a newfound respect for them after that game.
I have been experimenting with strategic bombers in a late world game and I have found that they are decent against infantry and AT/arties that are out of the distance of tactical bombers.
Like others I never research or build militia, or attack or strat. bombers. I don't build SP AA, but that's mostly because I have to pick and choose what I'm going to research. I see some others that skip subs, but nothing is sweeter than to wipe out a bunch of battleships and carriers when someone skimps on the destroyer escorts.

Destroyers and Subs are so cheap too

Srat. bombers are ok but if you were going to try to destroy buildings I would reccomend rockets though

why not attack bombers? they can be great against heavy armor whereas tactical bombers are trash against them.

In 1.0 tacticals will wipe out anything that doesnt have aa.
In 1.5 less so but tactical bombers are still effective
