how to play air

[Masyaka]

I tried watching good air players but dont understand whatever they do, and when i try to play air i just go 28k score meanwhile the lastest guy is 72k and i have no any ASF and they already make tons of strats. Whats the escalation and stages of playing air? Explain to that noob pls.

kinda depends on the map but overall its
->t2 airfac
->1 t2 pgen
->start RAS
->finish 2nd t2 pgen
->get RAS done and maybe ARAS
->t3 air spam and ecowhoring
depending on the amount of early/mid game air you want to make this may vary

what to do about mexes? Upgrade to T2 before all this?

Greatly depends on the map you play on.
For the start you want enough mass income to get your RAS done without stalling mass.

hardest part is to decide if you want faster t3 air or more eco... (tho i think there IS optimal way)
same thing later, do you want more ASF or more eco... and at what point you can maybe slow down ASF production in favour of nukes and t4s

I just want to get enough ASF to tke out some strats for my team. Like 20-40. First time i tried at isis 4x4 and got no T2 ever meanwhile they had ASF army already.

you dont need asf to kill strats

you can use sams, inties as a last resort, or maybe swiftwinds if you're aeon

By 15 minutes time there cant be enough SAMs to take out 3 strats. Or can?
