Aside from the previous responses, another draw is the ambiance the effect of walking a string of 60 eggs ( 20 per buff ) across a strat can be.
We've been taking 5 - 8 formations of 17s or 24s, a couple escorts, and fly deep into enemy territory just to lay waste to the City, Grunt Training, Radar.. etc.
Strategically, it doesn't accomplish much, but it can be a lot of fun, especially when the escorts get to earn their keep by driving off the Doras, and, eventually, a few other 109s, 190s, 51s.. etc, press on their attacks and give our gunners something to shoot at.
And, after it's over, you limp home with smoke or fuel leaks, flight surfaces gone, a drone or two missing.. and your squaddies that bought it on the first run meet you in fresh fighters to drive off any pursuing enemy.
Makes you keep coming back.
