Tactical Bomber vs. Stratetic Bomber

[Democracy Officer Yannick]

Is any of them worth it? If yes, which one is better to bomb the enemy into oblivion?

[chaosguy]

We/they answered this for you Johnny- it depends. Depends on what mission you want/need and how many resoucres you have. Each plane has a role, and a range which will make it more or less useful depending on the situation.
'To bomb the enemy to oblivion'-- strategic, but you will spend a great many resources for an airforce which will not help your army much in such a case.

i would play as england tho

[chaosguy]

Then who are you trying to bomb into oblivion? France? Germany? Only strategic bombers will reach Germany. But in either case, early game both naval bombers (or planes that can do that, ie. tactical bombers) and fighters will be of far more importance to you.

I know and im gonna outproduce him real fast.

I also tried that the 1940 fighter with maxed range can reach north west germany without problems

As the UK, you can produce lots of strategic bombers and keep bombing Germany.

One odd thing though. Bombing seems to have no effect on the local population in terms of numbers. Each raid should somehow calculate the amount of people killed by the bombers, with maybe a chance of a firestorm being produced, again based on the number of bombers involved. Maybe there should be a decision to use lots of HE to better damage buildings like factories, or with more firebombs to set fire to peoples houses and kill many more people. Whenever a firestorm occurs, it could decrease war support and stability by 5% or so, and kill 20 000 - 50 000 people( Dresden and Hamburg, for example). A newspaper article will come up, and other nations will become more angry with your nation(maybe their opinion will drop by 5%?). So it will have political ramifications, as well as reducing the amount of men available to the defender.

Hopefully we can get this in the next patch

they should remove free repairs, so they have to repair themself and using their factories for it
