Blitzkreig Vs Sky Menace

Hey, GeneralOwl here.

I have stated in a previous post that I am fairly new and suck and expansion. I hit rank 5 and now have enough Strategy Points to unlock Sky Menace. But I do not know if I should wait for Blitkreig or unlock Sky Menace right away. Like I said, I suck at early expansion so I would like something to help with that.

Sky Menace:

I know what this strategy is mainly about, spamming bombers over and over and over. I think this could improve my expansions by eliminating the neutrals to 0 so I have 0% chance of failing to capture it with an infantry or something. But, I know Sky Menace is similar to Master of Stealth in the way that it is expensive, so you must pick a cheap country with good paying countrys around it. But, how fun is Sky Menace? I would assume it would be decently fun, having hundreds of bombers destroying everything in there path...


Blitzkreig:

I do not know much about Blitzkreig, other than the fact is gives + Movement, + Vision, and something else. This may not help a lot with my expansions, I do not know if it will be fun either.

Which is why, I need help deciding. Sky Menace or Blitzkreig. Mainly looking for how fun it would be to play these strategies, and how good they are. Also, some tips on the strategy will be helpful. Thanks!

I'd say Sky Menace is certainly the stronger of the two. Blitzkrieg has it's uses, but in general Sky Menace is incredibly versatile and powerful and one of the strongest strategies; the only real limit Sky Menace has is cash. Sky Menace bombers are basically flying tanks, and infantry defense is not nerfed in Sky Menace, so with an air transport or two infantry can defend well. And of course, all of these units have ridiculous range. Sky Menace is pretty fun, IMO.

As for fun, I have to say that Blitzkrieg is really fun. I don't have a PHD in atWar, but I'd say it requires less cash than Sky Menace. You usually need a good amount for tanks, but due to everything having tons of range you usually don't need any transports. When you do use transports, the ranges are insane. In say, a 50k worldgame, you can with little finesse capture Russia: Northwest on the first turn.. as Turkey. That's skipping across an entire continent with an AT and some tanks.

Blitzkrieg does of course have a large weakness for it's upsides. Everything has -1 defense. This is a pretty big deal, as suddenly you have great difficulty defending anything because your best defending unit, infantry, only has a paltry 5 defense. It's even worse for other units. Militia have 3 defense, same for tanks.

I'd recommend you get Sky Menace first, because it has simple and powerful expands. Since your units fly and have high range, you don't need to learn tricks like how to go through far western France with a sea transport. You can make good use of your starting infantry, and bombers with 8 attack means you don't have to send a million of them to capture one city.

(btw one tip for Sky Menace; don't make TOO many bombers. In more competitive matches, you'll need to use your money as wisely as possible, and any air transports you might have basically boost your infantry range to Blitzkrieg levels or beyond. A lot of people, including past me, just spam tons of bombers + like 2 infantry and hope to win. Try to get a decent ratio.)


(..man, why do I do this stuff at 3 AM..)

Blitzkrieg is good strategy with big range you can spam chaos of militias and infantry.Don't buy much tanks or any other units except transports because you will run out of money and it won't help you a bit,of course you can buy bombers to destroy walls or marines when you have bunch of cash.When you master Blitzkrieg then you will understand how to play it and you can win more often.

If you are gonna go blitz you will need more upgrades, luck and skills to turnblock xD

Alright, buying Sky Menace.

Thanks for the advice.

Makes sure their are neutruel cities to take. because sky menance suck at close range battle.
Blitz s perfect for Ultimate WWII: examples: USA, Romania, Manchuria.
Additionaly, Sky menance is not good if its a ancient map or scenario.
SKy menance need some spaces against enemy players.
The Great war is a bad idea for A SM user. Too many Infantry/tanks spamming combo.its too close and you can get overun due to the fact Sm is expensive

SKy menane s good at default world map, an games W/o scenario

Do you guys think they will balance sky menace and blitz?

Why would they need to balance SM and Blitz?

you rush a sky menance player with blitzkreig, an army of militia

That doesn't work if you're far apart.
