How to attack an other city-state with a biplane

[nathanvu1999]

So basically I want to attack Spain and I want to use a biplane for it. There's one problem, i cant move my biplane to an other location than just around my airport. How does this stuff work? Can someone explain it to me.

Every plan has a range from their base. Fighters (like the biplane) that range is divided into Deploy Range and attack range. You Deploy the fighter as close as possible to your target, and then on the next turn they should have an Attack command lit up.

If you can't get your plan close enough to the thing you want to attack you either need to move it to another city, aerodrome, or airfield, then deploy.

Bombers have a range but no need to deploy. Whatever hexes or units you want to hit will light up if they're in range.

The reason for all this is so you can set up defenses with your fighters (they will attack enemy planes that try to fly within range). At least that's the theory, I've never gotten to a point where I was building air defenses and the computer also had a meaningful air force.

Since bombers are no longer any good at taking out cities without nukes, and it takes too many buildings in too many locations to do airlifts, I've given up on the air game entirely.

Biplanes only have an attack range of 3 tiles.

And you can't deploy them very far from the Aerodrome or city they are in.

The best thing to do with Biplanes is upgrade them immediately, and get a Carrier out.

Then you will be mobile as hell with your aircraft.

The game is completely broken, so none of this appears to matter to anybody.

But mark my words, when they fix this game, flight will be the biggest turning point in this game.

Everyone will be crying like babies when flight is fixed.

I am waiting to see what I can do with helicopters, but first I think that I need some Uranium sources to build them.

I dont think helicopters are air units in this game. I beleive they are the highest grade of light calvery.
