Enemy: Has 500 fighters
Me: Has 5k of fully upgrated level 3 fighters
*Enemy has air supperiority*

The supply reduction makes sense, the allied fighters would go shoot supply trains and trucks if they didn't have any more fighters to attack.

*Take France without declaring war on Poland*

You have to make your airwings smaller. For example 2 k fighters in an airport but you should put 100 fighters or each wing which makes it 20 air wings. That way they will all be useful otherwise there is combat width even on air which makes your wings useless if you put 1k plane on each wing. It's all same for other type of planes btw. 50-100 planes for each wing is OK

Oh, Boi… I need to start actually HAVING an airforce... Lately I'd just spam all of my aircraft onto this one place, and it'd always end with 2 Million of my own planes being taken down...

[TheDedictvi]

You can use command "ai" to turn off ai so they won't remove their bombers from areas where you have air superiority.

[shadow]

One thing I've never figured out is how the game is influenced by wing sizes. What I mean by that is if the game 'cares' if I make, say, a single wing of 1000 fighters, or 10 wings of 100 fighters.

I just want Air Superiority for the 50 nukes i cooked up

[adrianmartin]

You forgot the movement speed penalty for ground troops wich is cripling for any "mobile warfare army" and has to be counterd with AA in the units

[dustinl]

just wanted to say dorry about the video seeming rushed, i really wanted to make this video asap to try and help the community but my moms dog hap puppies last night and ive been having to help and didnt get much sleep when it was time to do this video, thanks for understanding

[jackmccoy]

Thanks for the short video explaining air superiority, I myself didn't wanna sit down for forty minutes listening to talk about virtual planes

[coletrickle]

Well I just got this game like 4 days ago, and a lot of dlc and updates make a lot of info from before 2020 useless in 2021. So that might be the answer to your opening puzzlement.

[قمرالدين-ري]

the numbers are normal usa when they start entering germany they have 10k tanks in 1941 when germany attack soviet union they destroy 30k air craft on the ground

[nitrondersaftige]

I think, I have a bug.... I can't use my aircraft, because I always need more supplies.... But it takes like 30 and you won't find any province in South America, which has so much. (It is my first game so far and nobody seem to have this problem)

[micker]

hey can bombers deal casualties to the enemy? I saw on Taureor's vid he dealt 300k casualties by just bombing. I tried doing it but no casualties but dealt dmg to infrastructure.

[xxx_swagluvunohomosapie]

Fighting germany as italy my AA spam cant handle german plane spam(10k+ planes) and they stack like 1000-2000 fighter and bomber planes per combat province...how to deal with that?

[riicklancerloock]

please tell me why/how you are using strat bombers.
Most people say 'what's the point of bombing stuff you want to conquer soon anyway?' And they seem to be right.

So as Germany (but also other nations) what do you bomb (infra/factories/forts?) and why?

[general-cromwell]

I know this is an older video, but, recently I started thinking about creating an "air supply" component to my air force. Thoughts?

[mohammedfazil]

I thought air superiority will give you bonus for artillery.

[nathanaelhunter]

Does having air superiority have an effect on recon and initiative? I always that it had some modifier to it in combat
