Using fighter-bombers
Does anyone here playing PG use fighter-bombers?
Which aircraft do you pick? How many?
My choice would be FW190 but until it becomes available the Messerschmitts are OK. I don't use fighter-bombers a lot but having too many fighters would be less useful when air space is yours already to prey on ground units. I pick FW190g for its best fighter capability for this unit class and 7/7 attack values (the best after Ju87D). I plan to pair my fighter bombers and dive bombers at 1:1 ratio, total as many as my fighters and my level bombers. That would make my air force size large between 40-50% of max core unit number.
Fighter bombers have better initiative than Stukas. It's useful if you have to bomb AA units. You can drop bomb first before they shoot at your planes, unless you're bombing units next to them. Most AA have initiative value 2.
