I mean, do you even need them?

Well, considering air units are the best units in the game, they can be pretty handy in certain situations. Personally I'd only ever use them with naval bombers to deal with enemy ships, though

They absolutely are not necessary and are probably the least common naval unit

I'll give you this:

You can make the argument that aircraft are the best units in the game because interceptors make bombers obsolete and offer you absolute air superiority that is helpful for ground troops, thus making an aircraft the best unit in the game.

But when it comes to stuff like tactical and attack bombers, no chance. Ranged units are what win wars.

You know just because your enemy is building interceptors doesn't mean you can't have them, right? And interceptors have a higher attack score than defense score. And they're incredibly cheap. And they're faster than bombers so they can shoot down enemy interceptors before your bombers even show up.

I'm truly perplexed by this argument, because it relies on an assumption that your enemy has interceptors and you for some reason ONLY built bombers but no interceptors.

If I build nothing but interceptors and you build a massive air force with two or three types of aircraft, I'll always SIGNIFICANTLY outnumber you in interceptors. If you build 30 bombers and 50 interceptors, I can make 80 interceptors for less resources and in less time. It also costs me a lot less research, so there's a greater chance some of your aircraft will be lacking in research.

The topic was aircraft carriers...not interceptors.

Yes carriers are necessary. Try crossing the ocean to invade without air support.

Been there, easily did it with just ships. I’ve won multiple free for all WaW maps and I have not used a carrier in one.

carrier makes your life easier

but it's up to you if you want a carrier

I won 5 games in a row in the 22 player map using only light tanks, so clearly every other unit in the game sucks ass.

Thanks for info

Aircraft Carriers are just a tool to extend aircraft capability so if you using carrier you're actually playing an aircraft not a ship, i mean yes carriers aren't the best but it's not useless either.
