My current observation is that Strategic Bombers are under utilized. When built there is often only one in a stack as a soak off. To make them more attractive as a unit, offer a precision bombing option. If you are going to patrol, the bomber works the same as always, it applies damage to everything in the province.
The programming change would occur if the attack option were chosen. In this instance allow the player to select which improvement he is attacking, and all combat damage that is inflicted after AA and Interceptor defensive fire would be applied to that specific target. This would be in line with WWII strategic bombing protocols, where specific targets were selected (factories, port facilities, air bases or infrastructure improvements).
Impact: If above were implemented, imo it would make strategic bombers a more valuable asset to consider implementing. When a player utilized them, it would cause opponents to consider defensive measures such as AA behind the lines in strategic provinces.
