Did a sizeable B17 run last night on Knight city and ord factory. Resistance was light as usual. Only way to really know what the effect would be was to do the mission. I'll probably do some more experimenting to see what the overall cause & effect turns out to be as far as those objects being vital enough to be attacked and defended. So far, it looks like business as usual, but we will see.
The 'furballers' (not meant as a derogative) do not care about the war and don't bother to climb to alt to stop buffs.
The 'landgrabber' are too much stuck in their ways, and as we all know "defence is useless/boring" anyway. So the only people right now really 'appreciating' and making use of the change are the (more or less) dedicated bomber guys, who do strike at the strats and not defend them.
There was a lot more of bombing activity over the strats yesterday, but resitance was overall indeed very light. Almost every bomber came through and dropped his load, the ones that were intercepted and shot down were dieing almost invariably
after their attack - making the defense non-effective.
Defending the strats would require keeping an eye on the map and identifying threats long before they arrive over the factories, and not taking off when the strats are flashing (and on top of that,flying a true interception course instead of taking off
behind them and chasing them down). But we know that not many players are willing or even able to do so. Always fun to see a strat raider cross a base way behind the front at 20k, and below him the wirbels on the field are trying to shoot him....
