Countering the "Bomber" strategy...?

There is a strategy a TON of noobs use to fight in atwar. I am serious. In EVERY single game i play there has to be at least 1 or 2 noobs that use that strategy. So i came here to ask. Is there any way at all to effectively counter the "Bomber" strategy? because if there isn't, the bomber needs to be nerfed...

No no no no no etc etc.
Make anti-air units.Also its hardly they sm brcause it costs a lot of sp that they have to get by ranking up and also i rarely see any small rank,even high rank use it!

I really doubt they use Sky Menace. Anyway, it won't be nerfed....
The only counter to using bombers is to use anti-aircraft or turnblock his moves. Or simply defend with infantry, which costs you half what bombers do.

I'm surprised you noticed a lot of bombers, but not tanks. Anyway they usually play RA and make tanks+air transports+bombers. The trick is to get them to waste units on you, and hitting whatever they don't defend. They haven't been in the game long enough, so they don't know how many units they need to capture something and if the opponent will stack it or not. Make a lot of infantry and militia in your frontlines (they will usually hit the closest target, the target with a general, or a target they think is important and repeatedly attack), and use clever micromanagement to reach targets they won't defend (making a transport from Russia:Northwest, then putting the troops to Kaliningrad or that port in Lithuania, and then making another transport to attack undefended Berlin for example). You'll get familiar with their playstyle and habits once you play a little more, so go out there and wreck!

And no, don't buy anti-air units, they're a waste of SP, and you're just rank 4. Just use infantry and militia to defend, and consider getting AAs around r7-8ish.

If you can kill their income, do it, bombers expensive af.

Low ranks using sm?

Agree with all your comment until this part. AA might not be cost-efficient but they are still reinf-efficients. A smart production of those can make a very big difference in the outcome.

Typically money won't be an issue for a low rank as they play 50k games. I got them at rank 5 and had never regretted it.

I'd like to add though, if I had one turn before the attack I would spam lots of walls in every possible target. SM's bombers doesn't rely in their decent attack but in their versatility, so reducing the number of potential targets can come in hand greatly against them.

I guess that's true, depends on what he/she wants to play I guess. good point

Clovis>Prometheus as player. But I just wanted to say for any new player reading this. I also bought Anti-air at a low rank and absolutely regretted it. In my opinion there are far better upgrades to be spending your SP on such as faster and cheaper inf, increased transport capacity. and Any general upgrades if you have him. Anti-air are only for niche situations. So it is best I think to gear SP expenditure towards more general game play.

Ok, guys thanks for all your suggestions. the AA costs about 8500 SP so im probably going to wait a little before getting that. also, the noobs i fight also use air transport and a small amount of troops (e.g. tanks militia infantry,) because, of course, bombers can't takeover/control territory. And usually, the people spam about 150-200 bombers, and the places that aren't guarded by bombers are guarded by militia/infantry. My current strategy is using the same bomber strategy to attack his own bombers. Plus, i'm also using stealth troops to attack his/her capital in any of those "capture cap for 2 turns" games. Thoughts?

Lol. He doesn't even have enough to purchase the AA upgrade yet you think he purchased SM? You don't need SM to use bombers. Please think before you type.

At some point he says "my current strategy is using the SAME BOMBER STRATEGY to attack his OWN BOMBERS".So im not the one who needs to think before posting.

Not once in this entire post did he say his enemies or himself use SM. He said "So i came here to ask. Is there any way at all to effectively counter the "Bomber" strategy? because if there isn't, the bomber needs to be nerfed... ". When he says "Bomber strategy" he isn't referring to SM. Honestly think about it, how many rank 3-4's effectively use SM? He is reffering to "bomber strategy" as people who throw bombers and cities and then take it with 1 tank (which he says) ", the noobs i fight also use air transport and a small amount of troops (e.g. tanks militia infantry,) because, of course, bombers can't takeover/control territory". So please stop being so dense and think before you type. Good day.
