    • Develop fleet and artillery. With the fleet you will destroy their coastal cities, and the artillery will be able to resist their ground forces. If the economy is weak - the main unit of the fleet is the destroyer. If you pump it - the firing range is 100. Just like a cruiser. Cruisers have more HP and better AA.
      You also need to cover the air defense artillery. The approximate composition of an artillery brigade is 2 infantry, 4 MLRS, ground radar (to shoot at the enemy while he does not see you), 2 air defense vehicles against helicopters, 1 self-propelled anti-aircraft missile launcher.
      Knowledge is power.
    • After the destruction of seaside cities and especially capitals, some of your opponents will simply leave the game. That way you can weaken their coalition.
      The main thing is to pump the fleet to the maximum. Mozambique, Greece, Finland and Israel have coastal cities as their capitals. Take advantage of this.

    • So India has two port cities that you must defend, other then that India is very easy to defend, you have jungles on the East creating a quagmire for advance, and you have deserts in the West which should be your main axis of advance. I tend to think that India is one of the only countries that can build a Tank army because of the terrain advantage, if i was you, id push heavily into the middle east and hit Israeli with a 10 stack of anything. Israeli lacks cash, limiting its ability to produce troops.

      Turkey can also be a good target for a land advance, stick to large stacks to counter airstrikes, ideally with some sort of AA in the stack if you need it but ultimately if you can get a couple tanks its wonderful way to push the HP of the stack. Really focus on hitting their capital cities, rather then capturing and decimating their entire army. But also put a heavy focus on limiting the amount of people you are at war with.

      Maybe build a few air superiority jets to cover the advance of your units but its really less about your enemy, and more about abusing your own country and the terrain surrounding it.
      India is one of the best defensive nations, with limited axis of attack and the requirement to funnel troops into choke points held by cities easily defended. In this case i would focus on massing HEAPS of national guards. National guards will allow you to match their production rates of units but ultimately maxxed infantry with their mortar range are the most overpowered offensive and defensive units.

      You could go frigates, if they are heavy airforce uses and push the research to increase your attack range, always a good idea to defeat Israeli but ultimately navies don't capture land and id rather have tanks then frigates as India purely because thats how you advance deep into the western countries that you border. You don't really have enough port cities to really build a navy that can dominate the pacific and attempting to do so usally ends in a marine element taking India's capital simply by bypass your ports and disembarking on some random tile and rushing your capital.

      If you have alot of infantry, maxxing them out is always a good idea, but ultimately gather up 10 units and just smash their home city by land.
    • I would advise against artillery, simple because the speed inwhich the enemy can push you is too great for artillery to be effective.
      Your surrounded by roads and deserts which can be crossed very quickly, you just wont get the bombardment required without engaging and if your engaging you might aswell be using tanks.

      Instead, you should try the season unit, they are very good at clearing out single units and small stacks if you want to limited casualties, but a strong tank stack will pretty much decimate most things, then later you can proceed into Special forces, and your own basic AA to defend cruise missiles and aircraft.

      Interms of defending against nukes, if they nuke your city be happy. If they nuke your 10 stack be sad :) try to get some bunkers in your cities so if your nuked your population and moral doesnt suffer too badly. Im not really a supporter of theatre defence systems, the upkeep and costs is huge and nukes and rather ineffective in the grand scheme of the game if your targeting infrastructure rather then armies. Nuking cities is like a desperate last stand of a lost nation attempt to annoy you pretty much.
