Ill bomb a strat occasionally, but more then not, if im in the mood, ill just up attack craft, and lay waste to several factories for an hour with re-arming, if there close proximity, or until I take some damage. A good bomb run though, if its squad related, usally ups about 6-8 bombers for everything. But those are rare now. As far as padding, ah, who really cares, and perks, well ive got over 10k in bombers, not alot of use for me.
