Please nuke the fighters damage against buildings.

Why would bombers need the suppression effect if they’ve already trashed the defenses outright?

 

[Jane Monroe]

Sounds like you need a better base layout Gavin.

 

[GavinMcStine]

It would need a greater area of effect then the blast damage.

 

[Manifesto]

Not suppression effect, distraction effect on SAMs.

Fighters are OP. They shouldn’t be better in almost every way over bombers.
They cost less, have more hp, use up one slot, deal more damage to buildings then they should, faster speed, slow down buildings and have an area attack on troops.

Remove the slow from the fighters and give it to the bombers and reduce the damage the fighters deal to buildings.

To be fair Gavin, are you talking about fighters in general or maxed fighters?
If you're talking about fighters in general I say they're not OP especially in IA or early Global as air defenses take them out easily if you don't use them well.
Once they're upgraded several times they become powerful and rightly so. It takes a lot of time and resources, as many have pointed out, and we want to see rewards for our efforts.
Also, as people become more experienced they use better strategies with their planes. This is another reason they might seem OP, people are using them well and bringing them home, so they might seem invincible. Trust me they're not.
Many a time I've had to massage my planes or not use them at the end of a battle because they were so badly damaged.

Gavin dont be so salty...put in the work and max out your own fighters. In the mean time, please shut up and leave.

 

[Mcnasty]

That would look sweet during attacks

I couldn't imagine any rebalance that would have these two units stray too far from their current relationship to one another. A lot of smart folks have pointed out the pros and cons of each role these planes cover, as well as their historical context.

Yes, but bombers still need chaff!
Also, while we're on the subject, any reason why my bomber post in the Ideas section was redirected to the Forum Rules section?

 

[SiuYin]

Yes Fighter is a bit OP, but if talking about nerf fighter, we need to buff the attacking force first.
Given that (Maxed) defense is too powerful compare with (Maxed) offense

We need buff on Bomber and increase troop size in order to compensate fighter's nerf

and that redirect topic cant even be replied to.
i wanted to add:

chaff is a good idea because sometimes i will send in a fighter ahead of a bomber to take the hit thinking im so smart, and then the fighter makes a left turn while the bomber makes a right turn and there is a SAM to the right.
there is nothing a player can do about this because we cant control which way they turn

 

[Mountainking]

Fighters are definetely not OP. Upgrade your defenses.....A couple of max sams/air defs and nobody is going to mess with you by launching them.

 

[Radzeer]

Fighters are not OP themselves, they are OP compared to any other flying object in the game except the ICBS (but that cant be used in attacking). This game is designed for the attacker (you can't open the game and start defending, don't you), so whatever is the designer taking away from the attacker will make the game less attractive.
Gavin, I believe you missed completely the point in this game, and have no idea how you should use it to feel the thrill

My fighters are 3 away from max and against a base with some strong towers, fort, air defenses and sam batteries... They go down pretty fast. I also have Amelia capped out.

While they are strong, they take a lot of work to get up there. I think far too many people under value towers. At max level (cwa) they do over 700 damage per second when connected to a road (radar). Also towers will prioritize airplanes over tanks (or so it seems) so they come in and get tagged by towers or air defenses (that can have over 1k damage when fully maxed out) and people will fear hitting you with planes.
