Besides, while it may not fit this particular case, in most cases losing the dar constantly usually spells a reset phase when the enemy has already dug in deeply into the territory which they can launch bombers or even jabos to strike the HQ.
Another thing to consider is that we're now playing on a small map. How often does one succeed a large scale raid that can take all the necessary strats down AND kill the HQ at the given time, when we're playing on OZKansas or Trinity?
. Any strat target that lies deeper than 50 miles behind the frontline is a big waste of time, except the HQ.
i dont think you understand my point.
NORMAL HQ downtime is about 10minutes due to the STUPID resupply system, the bombers sometimes dont even get out of the HQ sector before it reupps...totaly unfair but anything to please fighter guys........
anyway Festers b24 raids took out rooks cities down to 0%, then
HQ was only hit two times, once by me and Octavius, no one upped to protect it till after it had gone down, and the of coarse they had trouble finding us. This helped a 2nd Larger (36x3) formation get deep inland. This formation totaled the Troop training strat, Damaged the Ord factory, all barracks in the area then finished the HQ off.
Result? Cities down for 2 hours, this ment the HQ and troop training strat was down 2 hours too. and with the troop training strat down, the barracks was out for 2hours..... So Strat targets ARE
very helpful, if none of that work had been done the HQ / Barracks would have been up in 10-15minutes. Maybe you should read the manual about them
Oh, and with ord at 40% any fields without ord was down for about 1hour
Now people may moan about the downtime being so long, but there was 4-5 HOURS of flights there, and ALOT of work done to get the whole system down. Personaly in 5 flights i only lost 1 bomber and im a terrible gunner. So Rooks deserved tuesday night they didnt (or couldnt) defend there strat and fell apart from the inside. Kinda like Germany in WWII, so busy beating Russia 100s of miles away from Germany that they forget about all the lancs/b17s/b24s etc killing them off.
And Rooks getting ganged???? thats laughable, we was ganging BISH at this time, only the B24 raids was hitting rooks, the reason rooks lost that night was because they was all fighting bishland and winning at the time..... Rooks could have tried something, but they didnt seem to botherd that there Cities and other factories was getting leveld.... probably because they thought they are useless like you do
Instead they continued to fight bish that bishes HQ instead of worrying about there own one.
The bombers got through, and bombers win wars, and the game DOES allow that if theres some planning
Hint: If a country sees a dar full of bombers coming in, MAKE a 109 (or whatever) high intercept *MISSION*, theres really no point having the odd one or 2 hitting the formation, would be much better if 10 hit it at the SAME time... But then they would need team work, and forward planning, its laughable how Bombers are left allone (baring the odd attack) until the bombers near the 163 field and then its too late.
Wow i never wrote so much and it probably makes no sence
