Overview

The Advanced Airbase is the upgraded Airbase: Tier-1 aircraft plus Falcon Fighters, Thunderbolt Strike Jets, Albatross Naval Strikers and Vulture Bombers. With a Radar Station it also builds the Spectre Gunship.

How to use

Upgrade when you need a specific answer: Fighters against enemy air, Naval Strikers against a fleet, Bombers against a turtle. Air units are expensive and fragile, so keep the Airbase producing what the scouting report demands rather than a bit of everything. Add power before upgrading; like every Tier-2 production building it draws more.

Counters

The same as the basic Airbase.
