First:
I dont think people really understand or appreciate the dustructive power of three-four flights of Lancasters loaded with 14/1k bombs each.  If the teams and players ever got into the groove of using nine Lancs to fly over any base of any size in any kind of decent formation and have their salvo at 14 and their delay at .5 or so so the bombs stretch from one end to the other the game would change... I am very suprised we dont see more of that.  That tactic would shorten a lot of base captures. 

A squaddy and I, (Overlag) use Lancs even more effectively. Climb to about 18k, and hover right over the field. We kept a large airfield closed out for about an hour and half (IIRC) with just the two of us. Now, because we're knights, even with no aerial defense for over an hour they STILL didn't take the base, but we pissed some rooks off!

And what is neede is the mossie bomber formation because;

1) Like the 234 it is fast

2) Unlike the 234 it can land and take off easily and climb which means Shorter Sorties. I think long sorties are what put people off bombing but without height its suicide and height takes time in everything except the Boston which is too slow to survive and does not have th load. I think the mossie could cary maybe 6 x500 which would give serious damge pottential and fast turn around.

I enjoy a good bomber run from time to time and agree that the length of time it takes to do a long bomb run is a deterent to many.  I've started to use the 234 because of that, at least the transit times are short. Of course you spend a lot of time slowing down later.  If start targets had more/different effect maybe some people would want to spend more time in a bomber.  For instance in staed of classed targets like Ammo, Troops, etc there were Manufacturer targets.  For instance a strat target produces Spits.  If it drops to under 25%, then no Spits can be upped for that country until it gets fixed. 

Just something to kick around.

IMO, I think the B-29 would completely fail in AHII. Since it would be at low alts as 7-15k for the most part, it would just be a bigger target to shoot at with Manned Ack, 5''s and any person in something other than a Hurri or an A6M at or above those alts.

You wanna see hell? Overlag, Buffer, myself, and nonsense each with a formation of B-29s. Oh, and talk 999000 into coming along as a gunner. The only fields the Bish/Rooks would be able to fly from are the ones we would ALLOW them.

Sounds like someone boasting about griefing the poor rooks FH's.

Now that isn't conducive to a fair, even, furball if they cant up fighters now is it?

Careful, you'll get H338, Str8flsh, and all the others on YOUR fighter hangars.

I like it but I would suggest a general effect like Fighter facory with the more its destroyed the higher the eny goes for fighters in that country. It wont happen though as the majority or certainly a sizeable minority are mostly after a furball. Look at all the whingeing we get about eny already.
