Best civ for air units?

[Maxwell didn't kill herself]

i was wondering what civ is best for air units since no civ has something that helps them other then unique units. so what civ with thier unique ability or building would be best for large amounts of air units?.

[Eifersucht18]

All featured Civs are set in the past so all their unique buildings and units are specifc to that era whence they came.

Once you get to modern times, all Civs have aceess to the same buildings and aircraft so its irrelevant which civ you pick for aircraft specifcally

Well, the Japanese have Zeros, which do not need oil. So you can build many more than an otherwise equal opponent. Couple that with Japan's ability to fight at full strength when damaged, makes a pretty good choice if you can make it to deep enough into the game.

in my opinion either japan or arabia cause arabia has double oil and japan has zeros

Winged Hussars have a knockback attack, and can be upgraded all the way to attack helicopters, keeping the knockback upgrade.

USA o Japón... interesante

America and Japan are the only two Civs with an aerial Unique Unit, and they're both very powerful.

Since you want a Civ that can have large amounts of air units, try Arabia. They get double Oil resources, Camel Archers (a very top tier unit), Bazaars (one of the best UBs in the game), more Caravan range, and faster Religion spread with Trade Routes. It's a very well-rounded Civ that can definitely support large amounts of air units and can go on a Domination spree.

Poland can have the best attack Helicopters, but I don't know if OP means Fighter and Bomber units in particular or anything that flies. In that case, Poland has potential to be powerful Helicopters and the Ottomans have Helicopter pillaging sprees. I do wish Winged Hussars were on the Knight upgrade line rather than the Lancer upgrade line (Giant Death Robots>Helicopter Gunships), but knockback GDRs with plenty other promotions might be too OP.

really i think the XCOM squads are really good lol

Japan>USA imo but Arabia somewhere in between. With x2 oil making it even more with ideology=profit.
