The Advanced Airbase is the upgraded Airbase: Tier-1 aircraft plus Cobra Attack Helicopters, Falcon Fighters, Thunderbolt Strike Jets, Albatross Naval Strikers, Vulture Bombers and Condor Cargo Planes. Suicide Drones research unlocks the Hornet here. With a Radar Station it also builds the Spectre Gunship.
How to use
Upgrade when you need a specific answer: Cobras against armor, Fighters against enemy air, Naval Strikers against a fleet, Bombers against a turtle. Air units are expensive and fragile, so keep the Airbase producing what the scouting report demands rather than a bit of everything. Add power before upgrading; like every Tier-2 production building it draws more.
