Now everyone likes to say AC's are useless, but I have a idea.
Now AC are a very fast unit, we all know this. How about not thinking of them mainly as an attack unit, but as a DEFENSIVE unit.
Listen to this:
Your a high oil producing nation, but lack enough iron ore needed to spam forts (such as Spain). So you create AC, BUT do not put them on the front lines. No you would leave them behind for reserves, so if a neighboring country tried to attack you the quickness of the AC would able to get their fast and decently buff up your defenses.
Or
you just woke up and your enemy has broken through your front lines, due to the speed of the AC you would be able to reinforce his next target pretty quickly. You could also send the AC to engage the attacking unit to slow them down enough to get more infantry to the area.
