Sometimes you just need to lob a few Volkswagens at someone, and sometimes that target is 3 countries or an ocean away. The one thing about airpower, however, is that it's much less vulnerable these days as we can generally gain air superiority immediately. With all the counter-measures and smart ordinance, surface-to-air has become less of a threat too. Artillery, on the other hand, is vulnerable to strikes from the air and ground, and other artillery. But, like you said, it all depends on what you need and when. Keep it all! --- I agree.
