A lot of ideas that currently don't add up yet to a system that is coherent, fuctional & balanced under all circumstances  :bhead

But it still would incorporate the new central strats in addition to localized zone strats and zone based. The central strats would play a more vital role in winning the war, while "zone strats" would probably be important for local resupply. I'm thinking more of railyards than factories, but for the most part this is more a matter of appearance.

All I know is that we take off to obliterate a string of bases with our B17's, and because the cause & effect is immediately known, people on the other side of the fence come up with the intent to stop us.

Take the same mission, go after the central strat complex, and you just about fall asleep because of no fight. The concept of this current strat chain is not tangible or important enough for the other side to defend against our onslaught.

For the most part players, excuse me, are just ignorant of it. Even in situations where the strats have a far more devastating impact on the enemy than the old system ever had (because it's working globally) AND easily reachable... nobody cares. Nobody listens. Many spread factually wrong informations. The power of hearsay.

Unless there is a big huge carrot dangling across their faces, even many "bomber pilots" won't care for the strats.
But then, most players gameplay horizon doesn't extend past dot range  anyway... :joystick:

Barring a new strat system that at least makes some kind of sense (the current one doesnt)
