Assuming 25mph that's 1 hour per sector (assuming land is flat), Nearest strats are maybe 6 sectors (sometimes more) away.... You spend six hours driving over land? I'd love to take a tank into an enemy strat... don't know how. Be fun to drive around and hit the ack and factories with HE rounds. Better if enemy can up a tank and defend as well.
As usual.....you are incorrect.
I do strat runs by working hard to capture a certain base that has a remote spawn point within 1 to 1.5 sectors from the city.
That base rarely stays up long so I will hide the tank away from the spawn and go work on a car...........then I come back to find the base recaptured by the enemy and motor on to the strats knowing none of the enemy would suspect a tank there.
Then I mention bombing strats on country channel and someone decides it sounds like fun so I wait until he flashes the strats and go in with the tank to finish off whatever strats. he has damaged and then leave to non-flash range and shoot the trains incoming to that particular strat until ammo gone.
M4 with missiles loadout rules for this mission.
It happens about once a week but sometimes 3 or 4 times per week.
