Hey fariz! nice to see you!:)

Anything that encourages more buffs is alright in my book.  I really enjoy shooting down buffs.

This is one of the most accurate observations I've seen.

Take out the whole City and supplies to factories can be stopped for up to 3 hours.

I don't think that the strat system was built for just one bomber group to be responsible for taking out the city(s) and then the strat(s) and then the strat(s) at a field.

When I was with the MAW, we use to team up with a couple of other squads and attack the targets, with proper timing, to make sure that they were hit in succession and in the right order to make it effective ... and it did work.

There is a system in place and it does work ... like I said before ... maybe most don't know/understand the system.

I might add that there are actually no routine AI convoys resupplying cities in current strat system - If left alone, buildings will stay down for 3 hours.

I think I'll get on tonight, organize a few Strat Bombing raids and Announce it on 200 for all the world to see, just to see if the enemy will consider launching a defense.

 agree with that,massive HQ raids and defend against ussed to best fun, now is too eassy to resup, and waste of time trying:what for new bombers were were modeled ?! HQ sould have 20-30 min downtime without resup option, to ecourage players attack and defend it,
