And high. In a bomber, altitude is life.

I just looked at your score and it looks like you might get it much lower if you landed some of your raids. 23 disco's in 18hrs. of flight in a bomber isn't good, either.

Yes, ive been having connection issues. I make a point of landing every possible run, but I find that as soon as I start taking fire, or shooting myself, my computer freezes. Check some of my earlier scores, (Back before I got the new computer) those are a tad more telling

And yeah, all my runs are at 18,000 feet or higher. Last night I got my CO to come with me on a 22,000 ft strat-run against the rooks. Went quite well, I think!

On the map, you can pull up a legend. It says what each icon is.
My question is, what does it matter ?
If I go blow up the command post or radar factory, does that mean the enemy cant see anything on the map or they cant make missions anymore ?
Or is it just for show?

Thanks.

Because no one has attempted to answer your question , I’ll attempt to do that here.

The legend is for informational purposes only.  It identifies the different symbols on the map.   Nothing you do as far as damage to a target, any target  in the game alters the symbols on the map that you see on your clip board.  

What everyone appears to be talking about in response to your initial question is the value or lack of value of the strat targets in the game.

hope this helps

If you take down HQ, enemy won't have any radar for a time, or until he does resupply it. However, taking out another country's HQ is quite difficult and usually can't be done by one pilot alone.

Attacking the other strategic targets like ammo & fuel factories has some, but quite minor effect on gameplay... usually its not even noticeable. But that shouldn't keep you fromattacking factories if you think it's fun to you

You can read more about strategic targets here

I see the link you provided.  It points to information about the Strategic targets.  His question was about the Legend on the map.  Not about the value of strategic targets.

No.

He asked about the value of strategic targets and of the effects it has when you attack them :

And my link and the following discussion were on point.

I think you took his quote out of context.

"On the map, you can pull up a legend. It says what each icon is.

That's his question as he stated it.

No,  Lusche is correct.  The acual qoute was:

"what does it matter ?
If I go blow up the command post or radar factory, does that mean the enemy cant see anything on the map or they cant make missions anymore ?"

Which clearly asks the value of hitting the strat targets.
