So thank you to a commenter named insertusername, who made me realize my AA aircraft play is abysmal. And if I truly want to warmup as much as possible for Tempest Rising then I need to get better at that and face my inadequacy.
But it gave me the idea to do my own commander challenge, of beating the commanders at their own game. Instead of the hard counter, I'm going to hit them with the same thing they'll try to hit me with. So that will be on full display here.
First on the chopping block is Giles, and that means plenty of bomber sorties and CAP.
This is only hard AI difficulty. I'll go through this again on brutal AI.
I do this for my own fun. Misplays will abound! 📢
