We need something worth bombing. As it is now with the exception of guys who want score, most folks hit a base. And we know where that goes.
But we don't have it. It would take a bit of effort to get enough buff drivers together, in one arena where 1 side may have up to 100 pilots during a peak time, to coordinate well enough to hit a couple strats and pork the corresponding strats at several fields to have any effect in an arena,.....and all the troop and supply strats make resupping much easier than taking out the strats in the first place.
Back in the old MA, I didn't bother posting a mission if country numbers fell below 140 to 150 players, because good mission turnout became much more problematical under that bar.
This is further compounded a little by a percentage of buff drivers spending time doing milk runs in EW and MW to get that score you mentioned, where low pilot numbers puts coordinated efforts down to quick, uncontested smash and grabs.... no strategic effort.
Strategic bombing is pretty much on the sidelines now.
So, the bombers hit Hangars and CVs.
Possible solution (since 1 MA again probably is not in the cards): let buff drivers buy up to 3 additional drones with buff perk points and give defenders manned puffy ack or FlaK36's to defend the fields against them...... fewer buff drivers required to try and fight a strategic bombing campaign.... but taking them over defended fields a little more dangerous for those formations.
