    Of course if you are up against someone going *hard air* then you can counter by pushing with vehicles (or as you say make lots of air yourself). Spinners shut down bomber raids quite easily and once you reach a critical mass, dox really can't touch a large group of tanks.

    That was me! :D

    Glad you enjoyed the game. You're a much better player than I am!

    Yeah, I've found air is really strong at the moment as well. If you neglect it at all early game, any terrestrial advantage you have will be neutralised by those T1 bombers (so stronk!!!).
    I'm not too great at defending my fabbers though, 1 fab can work but if you lose it you're completely screwed.

    You're telling me, I've beaten quite a few players in the top 10 but I cannot win against @KillerKiwiJuice.... not so far anyway :p

    I'm going to get a win against him at some point if it kills me haha!

    Well, I usually use bombers to take out dox, but I find it is impossible if I can't control the air. So just build one air factory and build fighter, and if your opponent have the same number of air factories with you, you will get the control of the air(you only build fighters, he build both fighters and bombers).

    Bombers are great vs dox, mediocre vs ants, and are shredded by spinners. Air superiority isn't a must, just make sure that you're spending ~60% of what he's spending on bombers on AA. If he's got two air factories spamming bombers, have a vehicle factory spamming spinners. It doesn't take many to invalidate air.
