I find it odd your strategies are too inflexible to pack the same punch as a bomb fleet when you have nearly guaranteed air superiority.

Aw well, eventually enough Aeon players will thwart any attempt at T2 air tactics you try in future games that you will become just as jaded as I.

I'm not sure this is a good thing.
Right now, what it allows:
Aeon bombers to attack an ACU that goes underwater, and also attack subs that are on the surface (when they submerge) which no other bomber can without manually groundfiring. It's just kind of random imo.

Anyway, back on topic - I think it's good that Aeon has some depth charge on their bombes. Aeon naval is pretty weak already.

This.

If you remove 1/3 (or 1/2) of a persons major strategic fields and then can't find a way to capitalize on that field, you need to think about it more.

There are even more options available than above than I care to list. The only thing missing is a bomber with higher alpha damage than the T1... which is easily supplemented.

So an aeon T1 bomb acts as a depth charge? Does that require sonar contacts?

I dunno, just a feeling xD

Also, I think they would've noticed during the GPGNet days and before that Aeon bombers were attacking stuff underwater.

Yes keyser, but they still keep attacking even when they should not be able to do so. All other bombers do not do this afaik, it's only the aeon t1 bomber.
Would like any modders to try and see if this is intentional or not.

All bombers do this (tracking targets in fog og war), the Aeonbomber technically beeing a torpedobomber Hybrid has been since the very first days of FA i belive

Hmm, the Aeon bomber is missing this under its weapon:
AboveWaterTargetsOnly = true,

All the other T1 bombers have that entry under it weapon. Actually it is missing this also for when it is destroyed, so suicide torpedo?
