Heavy Plane

Overview
The Heavy Plane, also known simply as "Plane", is an air unit that carries over from the original game, The Conquerors produced in the Airport or in an Aircraft Carrier. Commonly used in somewhere around the mid to end games, it's a direct upgrade from the Light Plane, with really versatile use, being able to destroy the enemy's Income to attack big bases and destroy some side armies. It's also used by people who don't want to waste the money to make a Space Link.

Usage
As stated before, the Heavy Plane is really versatile and able to attack every unit/building in the game, except Submarines. It's a powerful aerial unit that can usually be made much earlier than Space Fighters which is a stronger and faster aerial unit, but they don't need to be researched. This Plane can destroy the enemy's income easily but gives a tiny gap of time for defense, it can be used for big attacks but if your enemy has anti-air units or buildings these will probably die.

These are often not seen in the early-game because of how expensive an Airport or AC can be at that time, however, with a great and organized team, you can try and get one for yourself in the early game, helping your team to get Income quicker.

Strategy

 * A tip is to move your planes away when built, to prevent them from spawning on top of another. However, unlike tanks or soldiers, the planes will get stuck, making it tough to separate the planes.
 * When they are in large numbers with 10 or 11 they can be used to attack a power plant, dividing into 2 groups, but be careful for a separate group not to be attacked by a bunch of space figthers.
 * When using any air-based unit, stay away from units such as Anti-Air Turrets and Anti-Air Tanks, as they are specifically designed to quickly destroy air units. Use ground based forces to these.

Trivia

 * To show they're the heavy variant, they are covered in heavy metal plates, in real life, they would probably be made of lighter metals like aluminum, scandium or titanium.
 * Its health is the same as the light plane, but its damage is greater, similar to how heavy tanks and soldiers work.
 * The Heavy Plane actually does slightly more DPS than a space fighter, however the lower speed, health, and altitudes overshadows this fact.


 * Before the February 2021 re-balance update, Airports were able to be built on Level 3 territory. This would cause any planes produced from the airport to become stuck, as they can only fly at a level of 2.
 * The Heavy Plane was in The Conquerors, The Conquerors 2, and The Conquerors Mark 2.
