You're entitled to your opinion but I very much doubt Hitech will do a U-Turn on decentralized strats. IMHO it's spreading our the war a bit more evenly and promotes a better balance between dogfiters vs basetakers.
The war is mainly fought over/for bases, and I see not spreading that up in any way.
All the new setup does so far is having most of the strats continually totally flat on small maps (easy, low risk milkrun target; almost impossible to defend)... or, in case of current ozkansas puts them out of reach for the most part. For example, the cruical Knight AA factory was a 10 sector flight through enemy airspace (not counting climbing distance) for the Bish.
And then it took away the sole reasonable target for a genuine long range, escorted high alt bombing raid. No reason to muster a formation of heavy bombers when just one is necessary to smash the factory (if it can be reached). In case of the city, it only needs 2 B-29 to bring it down to 0%. This plane in particular lost for the most part the only meaningful role it had in AH.
I wish the remaining city would be greatly enlaged or at least filled up again with additional targets. I wish the disperesed factories would be increased, as for now even a single Tu-2 formation will easily cut it down by 40% for 3 hours. And I wish puffy ack were added to them.
