Try that against an active player who knows what he's doing and you better be wearing your Depends.

No & Yes

No, if you wanna attack AI or Inactive player

Yes, if you wanna attack active player with well protected coastline

You know I was just being a smartass? Razzing Carking for saying that he wins games without carriers.

My point was mainly that you don’t need them, even if you can use them to greater effect. In fact I’m planning to make use of them in a future game..

Not the best example, though. Big difference between not using one unit and using all of them. Would have been smarter to say that you win without them, so they are useless (which would be wrong since they can be good).

If I had used your example, that would not have been funny. I was basically comparing you to noobs who go into inactive noob games, spam LTs, then think that every other unit is not necessary and that they are the second coming of Erwin Rommel. Ho Ho Ho! Exaggeration for comedic effect!

Yeah. You don't need a car, a plane, or a train to get to Rome either; you can just walk there.

Every road leads to Rome.

What does coastline have to do with carriers? if I say that I am China in historic and want to bomb taiwan, I can use airplanes at Wuhan. If I am let's say USA and I wanna hit Japan, then sure I need carriers.

Bro are your cruisers at the bottom of the ocean? Why not use Cruisers to fend off air attacks, instead of aircraft carrier and interceptor?

One Pan-Asian cruiser costs: 630 grain, 950 metal, 630 oil, 1.1k manpower and 1.4k money

vs

One Pan Asian Carrier costs: 650 grain, 1.3k metal, 650 oil, 1.2k manpower and 1.5k money

One Pan Asian Interceptor costs: 500 goods, 500 oil, 760 rare materials, 860 manpower and 1.1k money

Bro are you ready to spend so many resources?

All coastline with Naval Bomber patrol on there, you can use Battleship to bombard that area when your troops disembark but defender will send Naval Bomber, so you will need fighter to take them down

If you manage to fit more interceptors on carriers than the enemy can fend off with their land-based interceptors, that's simply a bad or inactive enemy.

if your fighters did their job long enough your land units will be on shore to establish an airbase

also cruiser only help on the sea, but carriers with airforce will help more to push deep into enemy territory
