Start

CAS. Close mf air support. your best friend, most op ♥♥♥♥ ever. Just spam that and yeah you good. What should you put in them? idk man the best stuff? if you don't have resources then use the thingy that saves rubber, in other cases use the best engine and the cas locks. Send them on close air support missions if that wasn't clear.

End

You can also kinda maybe build fighters (light weapons) for air supremacy if you're facing a large air force, and maybe if you're crazy then build strategic bombers and nuke ♥♥♥♥ (idk how the meta of nuking changed with the new dlc but it was pretty useless before except for nuking troop stacks in mountains), and naval bombers (all defence and range) for destroying the enemies fleet (cas can do this too) and yeah thats it. okay bye

bonus

If you hate having fun in videogames, and love conquering the world as germany, then build a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of transport planes and fighters from the start, make ♥♥♥♥♥ paratrooper divisions and send them to every city in france at the start of the game (the wargoal should be ready in the second half of 1936) they will capitulate instantly and you just got almost infinite resources in the colonies and a semi-useful ally for garrisons. You can also use the paratroopers for taking ports in england (they don't know about garrisons until 1939 ig) and then send the rest of your army to their ports and take them (they only have a good navy, not army or airforce). Use the same trick on the US from lablador or canada, as they dont have much troops at the start of the game. Congratulations, you have just ruined all the fun and are now unstoppable.
