Sounds very cool. Someone mentioned that level bomber types are going to have to learn their trade.
Skilled escort pilots are going to be in demand a great deal more as well I think. And with the 'reverse on a dime and line up the targets from 25,000' in 30 seconds' maneuver no longer being an option, bombers are going to have to spend alot more time up there at 25,000'...so endurance of interceptors and escorts is going to matter more...and tactical bombers are going to see more action...and it all sounds like some very cool changes.
Tactical bombers at present are very effective as 'suicide' bombers, mainly because the exact position of every defending AA weapon is known in advance and the AA weapons are easily spotted.
Maybe in the future, with even more progress in the terrain detail by HTC, we'll see AA weapons that are only easily spottable when firing (by following the tracer path back to the firing weapon), AA weapons that change position after an attack (12 'possible' AA positions in a 200x200 meter area, only one of them containing an all but invisible unless it is firing AA weapon), and other such things.
So of 4 attacking tactical bombers, 2 will hold on station to look for and suppress newly firing and thus spottable AA weapons - which was a standard real life tactic in WW2.
So the AA weapon crews will 'act sneaky' by changing their gun position once an attack is over but it is known that more enemy attack aircraft are on the way - which was tactical doctrine for most AA weapon crews in WW2.
Etc., etc., etc.
Just some ideas. Great news about the more advanced level bombing 'world'.
