What are some RTS or grand strategy games that feature modern air combat?

Command: Modern Operations?

>>2068017
not modern

While not exactly modern thematically, Total Annihilation and its successors have this grounded approach to aircraft operations with fighters, bombers, gunships, radar planes and such. Zero-K is especially autistic, because most planes have to reload at an airpad after each run, and expert players get to plot their own approach vectors for more precise deployment of ordnance, such as spreading napalm along a row of buildings.

I recently got into Warno and it’s got some pretty fun air units/mechanics but it’s primarily a combined arms game rather than just aircraft.

You gotta love TA's different aircraft roles. You got the ones that are good against ground units, the ones good against structures (bombers), the ones that are effective anti-aircraft fighters, and so on. Love that game

>Ground-attack planes
These already don't exist (bar the amerimutts' holdovers from 50 years ago)

In the future there may be shit on the ground worth attacking

They're just called drones now. You can't dogfight with a Predator, but you can sure sling Hellfires with it.

yes, but ui is disgusting, i get its a solo project but you have a list of 999999 units WITHOUT a unit browser so when you are editing a scenario you have to manually search units

>>2089029
what are you talking about? It's the commercial version of a professional military simulation tool and the unit database is very easy to navigate.

nevermind im a retard and havent played in a long time. cmano is the best simulator i encountered for realistic settings but its complex. on the level of dcs or any real simulator. you will be learning how to use it for a really long time

Jane's Fleet Command is the one I'm most familiar with, it's sort of a simulator but definitely on the more arcadey side of things. It's primarily about naval combat but obviously that includes carriers and by extension naval aviation. There's also at least one scenario where you take command of an airbase on land but it's not a focus.
There's also Sea Power which looks to be a more in-depth and modern take on the same general concept, I haven't played it but it looks neat.
Anyways my only gripe is that since they're actually naval combat games you're forced to command ships as well when all I really want to do is do aircraft carrier things.
As for mainstream RTS games I second Zero-K as probably the closest you'll get. I would argue that in terms of actual mechanics it's probably closer to WW2/Korea because so many of them rely on guns and dumb bombs over guided munitions, but on a conceptual level things like radar jamming, AEW aircraft and SEAD/DEAD that most games don't include are here to a certain extent. You're also not spoiled for choice when it comes to multirole aircraft but for the sake of fun it's probably for the best.

the best ones

How is a 30 year old game be "modern"?

Thank you for making me earn about the existence of Jane's
