Whoever created this thread has a point. I've started to casually play this game after a long period of inactivity, and the other day I got absolutely crushed by strategic bombers. They're not that great vs ground units, I know, but they've just got way too much health. It takes so so many interceptors to bring them down, and if you do manage to build enough interceptors, they're gone because it takes them a couple of attacks to destroy the strats, while they can just destroy your interceptors while they're refuelling. And their airbases are out of range so you're screwed too.
I think it would honestly be a great idea if they didn't have so much health. That's the problem with them. Interceptors are a great counter for other types of bombers, but strats are just too OP.

Oh, and they should only be allowed to fly in/out of level 3 airfields.

I'm pretty sure Strats in Allied Doctrine are meant to be the B-17 Flying Fortress, which could fly on 1 engine and lose half the fuselage and still fly, so tbh based off real life, they nailed the air force pretty well.

Still many games go by without a single strat in the sky.

This is probably a bit too much. No one builds level 3 airfields, so maybe this means that strats aren't used at all. I don't know. I just think that they can't stay as is.z00mz00m wrote:

I agree that it might even be historically accurate. There are some caveats to historical accuracy, though. Even the Flying Fortress had to be sent up with fighter escorts for as long as the fighter escorts could accompany them, so they weren't invulnerable to fighters. And Allied doctrine isn't the only doctrine, anyways.Fox-Company wrote:

But beyond all that, there has to be a gameplay consideration as well. If good players are just pumping these out because they're so game-breaking, then something must be done.
