Effects[]
Battlefield Destruction Doctrine provides a 10% boost to the morale and organization of Close Air Support Wings and a 50% boost to the efficiency of all Ground Attack air missions.
Strategy[]
This doctrine is the seminal technology for all close air support boosts, and thus if a country desires to build Close Air Support Wings, then this technology is critical. For countries that do not plan on a close air support force, but instead plan to use Tactical Bomber Wings, this technology is still valuable for its bonus to ground attack missions.
