I'm not a pro at this game so my understanding might be wrong. But for me, this game is a bit like a simple comparison of the number of military buildings and the length of online time between players. Wars between two countries are just direct collisions of two continuous supply lines.
If paratroopers and other long-range facilities are added, such as artillery with explosive ranges, real bombers that can fly across roads, etc., the wars will become complex and tactical.

Yea and maybe radars can upgrade to AA

In my book the use of ranged weapons or just relying on supply lines is the difference between more experienced/less experienced players but also the scale of the war. Unless fighting a particularly entrenched opponent I don't use ranged weapons and rely solely on speed and superior numbers. Only when a similarly well prepared opponent is met do ranged weapons come into play
To that point, there are 3 ranged weapons in the game: Artillery (Short-Medium range), EMPs (Medium-Long Range), Nukes (Medium-Range)
I actually really like their concepts at the moment, I do think there could be some tweaks (maybe make artillery better versus fortified buildings and increase EMP range to really make it stand out) but for the most part they really shine in large wars
They are there to reward higher APM players and I have successfuly stalemated much stronger players by having layers of nukes, emps, and artillery cutting supply lines and harassing enemy units
Your suggestions on airborne units are the more dramatic discussion to be had, I do like the idea in principle of having air units fighting "elsewhere" on the map, but it would really necessitate a complete overhaul of the current combat system
Right now air units are essentially the cavalry of the game, fast and high dps

concentrated artillery can destroy towers fast
emps are a bit weak when used on factories or barracks or (negligible effect to the enemy)
instant destroy on most towers makes nuke fun, but the enemy can always recapture the ruins easily, its just annoying that enemy has to slowly re-update the ruins
so currently i think ranged weapons arent powerful enough and we need more rewards for high APM

What are emps?
