not thrilled with spread out strats on current map

I wish I could find time to play the game so I could whine.

On the large maps, I'd like to see the factories NOT put all the way to the rear, but maybe 2/3'rds the way back.  Currently, they are very much to the rear and me thinks it may be simply too much.  I like the spread out bases, but WAY to the rear is a bit far, imo. 

Also, we're still missing targets of strategic  importance for the designated "attack" aircraft to hit (other than bases and towns).  I miss having the opportunity to run in the Mossi, 110, A20, and other such direct attack aircraft.  As it stands, the factories are WAY to the rear and very much out of reach for the dive bombers and gun boats.

It's not Lusche that you need to convince.

I know that, but since he is one of the 'guardians of the strats' (there almost all the time) I wanted to ask him his opinion to see how it would affect gameplay.

Actually I have spend way more game time attacking the central strats than defending them - more than 700 hours in 556 missions over the course of 515 days. My strat defense has just been more 'flashy' and obvious.

But it's already well known that I'm only arguing here to get my cheap kill opportunities back, so it all doesn't matter anymore.

I can play the game, just choose to dedicate my time to studying instead.

Not asking for a U-turn, just commenting that the northern (nit) aaa factory was out of any realistic bombing range. Just would like to see that and a few other factories brought a little closer in when the map comes round next rotation.

and why do have to pick on a knight base--your other enemy is on the other side-go pick on them..i think it's great that they spread the strats out..makes it harder for the rooks and bish to beat-up on our strats.seems like b's and r's always pick on us first..pick on each other for a change..

It was the worst example--something like 8 sectors away from the nearest bishop base (and buffs would need at least a bit of alt while traversing nmy territory, so practically speaking the nearest suitable bish base to attack from was further back than that). It wasn't in "realistic" bombing range because, even if you could get to target and back without running out of fuel, a 2+ hour mission to flatten a single factory would not have been worth the time and effort expended.

I think on small maps the strats ought to centralized, and de-centralized on the larger maps. In my opinion this should be an adequate compromise.
