Armada
Switch to CORTEXOutsmart your foes with Tactical Finesse
Armada's combat doctrine relies on mobility, versatility and stealth, focusing more on direct firepower than indirect artillery. Key features include raiders with anti-air; cloakable metal extractors and fusion reactors; the best radar jammers; and efficient single-target-killers like the Starlight and Sharpshooter.
They are somewhat better-suited to an open battlefield than Cortex, possessing a larger mobility advantage with units more specialized in quick and deadly attacks. For attacking entrenched positions, Armada employs powerful EMP weapons to disable defenses and allow a self-sufficient strike force to punch through and wreak havoc.
Their overall strength on land is weighted somewhat towards Vehicles in Tier 2. Their air force is more varied than Cortex, but planes filling simpler roles like fighters and bombers have inferior stats. On defense, Armada is mostly a mirror to Cortex, but their almighty Pulsar turret has no true equal.

Longbow
Longbow is a missile cruiser. They are equipped with a heavy long-range missile launcher and a medium anti-air turret. Their main use is getting near the shore, then launching powerful missile barrages against land bases. As long as you can manage to get them close enough, it takes only a few missiles to completely level bases to the ground. Fortunately, their range surpasses all land-based defensive structures, even the Pulsar, so the only viable ways to stop them is to intercept them or hit them with tactical nukes.
A high missile trajectory enables them to shoot over mountains and other natural land barriers, which can stop other ships that use plasma cannons.
Take advantage of the element of surprise by combining them with jammer ships to hide them from enemy radar, and let them sneak in close enough before starting the bombardment.
