The battle last night showed that with bases that have 3 SB's, one heck of a fight can develop. Yes, the SB's were put down, but the battle that raged in the area was PRIME TIME MAIN ARENA ACTION.
Eventually the rook CV was sunk, by knit torpedos! But the SB's as they came online caused significant damage, enough so that range vox was LIT with cries to take down the shore battery.
If BB is taking out SB from THAT far away, wouldn't that make it easier to up bombers for CV that is a ways away? Perhaps an up/down icon would be more appropriate on the map. That way at a glance, one can see SB's destroyed, prompting defenders to the area?
I dunno, I like them at this point.
