By the same token the A4M Skyhawk was a mud dauber during vietnam. You'd come in over the target at 8-10k until you had it abeam your intake and rolled in. Using CCIP (computer computed impact point) you'd come down the slope and watch the target come up to the inverted staple and the bomb would auto drop. The bombs were 1k each and you could set how many pickled. If you got down to 3k alt you'd see a big X. The X meant if you pickled the egg you'd die from your own bomb. The normal TOT (time of target) was 3-5 seconds as you came down the slope at approx 500-550 knots. So your pull out at those speeds put you well within the kill radius over yer own bomb.

Now compare that to slow moving bombers with 1k eggs at 600 ft. Do you actually think the'd live thru it without a drag chute? I don't think drag chutes have been modeled in AH2 yet but ya never know .

I think you'd see a lot more guys flying buffs if there were meaningful targets for them to hit.  Right now, you can bomb a city so it can be captured, or hit the hangars to prevents GV's and other AC from taking off, but all that revolves around base capture.  As far as hitting strat targets, they're good for practice, and it's cool to watch them go up in flames, but I can't see as how it really affects the game.
OTOH, what if we did have something like the Spitfire factories in AW?  Look at all the whines on this board about the LA-7.  What if your team were able to form up a bombing raid, and fly over and knock the LA-7 out of production for an hour or so?  Or the Panzer factory? Etc.?
That would give the bomber guys some meaningful targets to strive for, as well as give your team a chance to eliminate the certain planes you're complaining about.  Yes, make the a/c factories difficult to destroy, so it would take a REAL formation of bombers to do it, not just one suicidal, 100 ft. agl Lancaser or something.
I know this would produce a lot of whines from those suddenly unable to fly their favorite LA-7, P-51D, FW-190D, etc, but then maybe those pilots could hop in buffs and try to do the same to the other guys????

Give the Bomber Pilots some targets with meaning and value!!!

I believe that if you level the refinery for that zone it should affect the surrounding fields, samr goes with troops or amunition.  That is just my opinion.

It affects the resupply rate of the field.  In other words it will take longer for the little truck convoy thingy to bring the strats back.  But, that functionality is tied to the map, and if it isn't set up right, you get no resupply.  Citabria had a huge post about this in the past if you are interested I'm sure you could find it.  But we are pretty much barking up the same tree.

basicaly it needs a total rework but, theres alot more important things out there to do....aparently...surely fixing the game should be more important?!
