I'm confused about why so many players here like militia. I get that they are stealth on most provinces, but they just don't seem to be worth it for me.
Some down sides of Militia:
What does everyone else think?

I would like to see you play a game using militia as your primary ground unit.
I will do that, gladly.Brando Dilla wrote:

Easy, would do that no joke. I’ve already done it in fact, and won that game.Fox-Company wrote:

Only in a short war. It's quite common to use heavy bombers to bomb airstrips, fortifications, infastructure, and ports (this can be done with tacs), and they can remotely destroy enemy industry unreachable for days, crippling the war effort. Strategic bombing can't win a war alone but it can be a valuable tool.Brando Dilla wrote:
Strategic bombers are a waste. Instead of destroying enemy buildings, you can use them to your own benefit.
Completely agree. Starts are like a fire extinguisher: you hardly ever use it, but when you do, it's invaluable. They can take out an entire enemy air force of dozens of planes by blowing up their air base at the right time.
As long as your enemy does not place strong interceptors over there cities when they meet them though, which usually counters them for me. But if strategic bombers aren’t correctly countered, they can basically delete industry and even revolt away cities, very annoying and painful.
If it’s late game and I have TONS of resources, then I guess I could use strats to cripple the enemy’s economy. But definitely not before day 20 (I can use those buildings for my own benefit)Carking the 6th wrote:

I agree, that is my usual, strategy (Get it? Sorry…). Just that if you do decide to use them your enemy better not have AA or especially interceptors.Brando Dilla wrote:

Strat Bombers are essentially the Heavy Tanks of the sky, but better, they are impossible to kill at high levels stacked into like groups of 20 or 30.Carking the 6th wrote:

We’ll not when you have 10-20 stacks of high level Allied or Pan-Asian Interceptors… But even then usually the person who makes those will have weak defenses on land, due to how expensive that is. Eventually allowing you to push through and take their country, even if your industry is evicerated. Their use is good if they are in a coalition as support, destroying industry as your Allies push on land. But in a 1v1 the best they can do is make it easy for another country to take the enemy after you are dead. I guess this just ties in with the fact that they are best for support, and can’t win a war alone. These expensive large stacks just take away from making other more versatile units, and make you pay long term. Kinda ironic considering their name…Fox-Company wrote:

That's why high level interceptors are useful. Your strats won't be flying much longerFox-Company wrote:

Man I love plane spam, it’s so versatile and powerful. I also love long quote chains!Brando Dilla wrote:

At least they share the power of plane spam! To go into detail it counters everything… even the Militia spoken about here don’t hold a candle to it. There is no real way to stop a huge force of high level planes with a protected airbase, except for another of the same thing. You can stop nukes, wipe out huge stacks, reveal stealth units, fight units land sea and air. There is no counter to a huge and advanced Air Force other than the same thing, even AA usually end up being overwhelmed by it, it’s crazy!Brando Dilla wrote:

There's an easy counter to a large air force: interceptors.
Not if the the page of quotes isn't helping understand the response. I guess it bothers my OCD, like piles of trash and wasted space.Brando Dilla wrote:

if they don’t have bombers of their own, then that usually means they can’t expand as fast, which means that you will have more resources, and enough interceptors to counter their own, using tac bombers to hit their air bases while you are at it.jubjub bird wrote:
