Put strategic back into AH. Add more strategic targets (rail yards, strategic supply bridges (rail and road, which would stay down like all other strats), power stations, radar facilities, supply ports, supply depots, freighter convoy's, etc.) and insure that hitting them, is worth the effort. I cannot remember which thread it was in, but someone posted that the game is now geared more towards furballing and less on base taking and strategic runs. I would have to agree with that. When I first played AH, which was around the middle of last year, I found myself upping bombers a lot to make runs on the strats. It was fun. I didn't do it for score or perks, I did it because it was fun. The beneficial side effect was that it hurt the country I was hitting and they stayed down for an hour or more. I recall that hitting all the fuel at an airfield, would reduce it to 25% as well. Maybe I was seeing things then, but it did fall below 75% from what I remember. People say they can't defend with 25% (or even 50%) and they have to sit in the tower. Dwayna forbid they would have to resupply the field or up from another one....
With the current strategic system, not even the B-29 will affect it. Fewer bombers to do the job, still have to hit the same target which doesn't seem to affect anything. I love the Capital. Definitely keep that, but more strats please. Boosting the amount of ack over it would be nice as well. The sky was filled with ack, especially over high value targets. It's funny and sad, to see one set of bombers taking all the ack when there are 4 or more set's over the Capital.
Whiskey, I would have to give you that (even I will go to TT or furball, once in a blue moon). What about restricting ords to rockets only, no bombs? You have to give them SOMETHING to use after all. Or leave the B-25H, and have no rockets, bombs and IL-2's??
