the bots i keep playing against in the game are just spamming an air unit i get about 2 minutes before he sends a tone of aircraft at me not being able to experiment with everything so what do i do
The AI in PA is currently in the most basic of build stages. At the moment it is only capable of producing air, which it sends out in random directions until they find you. If you are struggling, I recommend focusing on fighters as soon as possible. They are currently the most effective counter to bombers. AA turrets are ok, but you will get a lot of them blown up, and need to constantly build more. Beating the AI as it is just needs a tiny bit of practice if you are inexperienced with RTS games. You will get the hang of it.
I think the OP pretty well illustrates the need for tutorials and different difficulty settings before the game is officially released. Lots of people with very different levels of experience with RTS games. To answer the question, I certainly concur with what those above have said. Build fighters and anti-air defenses. You will also want to consider sending out anti-air bots or tanks with your army. All of these items will help you defeat the AI.
tutorial or fix bots asap i finally beat the bot but i just did his tactics which i dont like and i cant see the full extent of the game
If none of the prior answers helped, there is something that I can guarantee will help; Wait until Release. Mike
As others have said, get some fighters, build some radar. This will make it easy to see enemy bombers before they reach you so you can send your fighters to intercept. Bubblesgsmming, building all types of units is key in a game like pa, they all have strengths and weakness's. Learning to build a balances army that includes air units is a good skill to pick up Personally I like the way bots currently play. In real games getting fighters out quickly is essential, so the bots teach players appropriate strategies
Bubbles, if you are having that much trouble with the bots, the root cause might be your start (early economy). Try building 3-4 metal extractors and 1-2 power generators early, then quickly build a factory (of any type) and build a couple fabricator units, and plenty of anti-air units and anti-air defenses. Now, continue to expand and get more metal extractors and power generators, more fabricators, and build more factories (building anti-air units with these factories). Economy is paramount, so try to make sure you have one that is stable and growing. With a strong economy, multiple factories, and numerous anti-air units and defenses, you should be able to defend against anything the AI can throw at you. You can then move on to producing other types of units and use them as well. You can do it! I have faith you can defeat the computer without using their tactics.
Alpha alpha alpha alpha! The game isn't finished yet – of course you can't see the full scope of the game. In the meantime, build AA and patrolling fighters.
