    • Airfields or Air factories late game for refuelling time?

      I noticed that air factories can be upgraded to level 5 i believe, which is way better than airfields which max at lvl 3. But how important is refuelling? I was thinking of creating a chain of air bases to get planes across my continent size country fast. But now i think its not that important, not as important as having troops already on standby in several key points.

      I have a lot of resources to burn so i don't really mind building lvl 5 air factories but i'm sure it would be a waste.

      If you're just making them for the refuel, absolutely go normal airfields. but the 30 construction time for the factory is very nice. Even if you have resources to burn, that cost difference is massive, and it would also take significantly longer to get factories online.
