Close Air Support
Close Air Support (CAS) is the key to the blitzkrieg tactic. These planes have the ability to strike precisely at enemy units, enabling your ground forces to achieve a rapid breakthrough. They are slow, sturdy planes and this makes them an easy target for enemy fighters.

Notes
- CAS are very vulnerable to an air attack. However, putting a fighter or interceptor division in your CAS stack will not help. In this case, the fighter will only prolong the air fight, resulting in higher losses than a pure CAS stack would suffer.
