Attacking (air) transports

How do you guys think attacking (air) transports should be resolved? In my opinion, the only thing taking part in the battle are the transport itself and the air/naval units accompanying it. When taken down, the transport AND its load falls to the ground. Or sinks. Or both. This way, transports and air transport should be valuable and vulnerable targets to take down, and require good defensive company. One will think twice before sending out a transport unprotected by a frigate or a few hunter jets, into the territorial waters of a "Naval Commander" or cross an Air Menace's airspace. This way, it also emphasizes the corresponding strategies.

That's how it currently works.

... just today, I had a huge fleet of 100 tanks being transported. 5 infantry run up to it and destroyed everything.

Wonderful (both the system, which I didn't know it was in place already and your failed transport (which made me smile ))!

Shouldn't air transports should be less expensive then? If you have to buy a bunch of bombers just to protect the air transports, arent you better off just using an army of bombers instead? (and maybe 1 transport w/units to capture cities after bombers clear them).

BUMP! What you just described a noob spam technique frequently used by SM noobs ^^.

Stop it. This one is even from 2010.

Just because a topic is old doesn't mean that it can't be revived.
If topics that have not been discussed for over 2 years were not allowed to be posted in then the developers would have implemented a system where the thread automatically locks due to inactivity.

Basically, not making Necropost is a thing of common sense.

Specially if the discussion is out dated and you won't post any contribution.
