Bombers Tips:
-------------
Bomber gain skills after every mission, and once you get them at 100 skill
or better, they start to become very effective in bombing as well as shooting
down the enemy fighters.
I will use bomb groups for my fighters sweeps. I prefer to run usually 4 b24
groups, and four b17 groups most of the time. If i am after a target thats hot
with enemy fighters, i will send 24s in as they are faster to bomb any other
target thats close/in the red, or any other target just fly the 24s through
that area to some mundane target your not after. the 24’s will draw up the
enemys fighters, you smoke them, then your main group of 17’s comes in behind
them and can smack the target without fighters engaging them. You split the
damage the main group will take from both fighters and ack. You can do this
with all 17’s too, send in two groups of 17’s through the red area, then bring
in the main bombing group after them by staggering their start times in the
mission screen. I have done this many ways, 2 on a sweep, 6 on the main bombing
force, etc
-=Some Tips=-
When you start a new game you need to train them up, i do it by hitting soft
targets where no fighters will engage you until you get those bombers skilled
to 100, then start going after air bases with a low concentration of fighters
present ( not the real bright red fields/areas. Dont be too fast on forming
new bomber groups. You may have 6 bomber groups for example all at lets say
skill level 500, you create a new group that generates low skill at 60 or 70’s,
and if you include it in missions with all the other skilled bombers, it drags
the whole skill level down just from the one new bomber group. Example, 6
skilled up bomber may whack a target , do heavy damage, but the addition of a
new low skilled group makes that mission hit for light damage, and less com
pints if any at all.
Training: its a grind but as i expand my bomber groups, i will take a single
new bomb group and make repeated hits on soft targets until i bring their skill
levels up to at least 100 before add them them in with the rest of the groups.
Never try to create more then 8 bomber groups, or you will have problems managing
them as the mission screen only has 8 slots for bombers, at 9 bombers in that
screen, it is doable, but a major PITA as the bottom bomber and the next button
are on the same line. Say you want split groups( 4 b24 groups/5 b17 groups. You
will have to have it setup so the first three b24 groups 1,2,3 then your 5 b17
groups next, and the last group with b24s, because when you hit the next button
in the screen, the 9th group gets selected whether you wanted to or not as the
ninth slot and the next button click together, it is unavoidable. So, its a PITA.
Running ten groups isnt possible, one group will always get left behind no matter
what you do.
Switching from a b24 or a b17 and back again will repair your damaged bombers
when you get back from a mission, this can be used to your advantadge. say you
have 5 bomb groups, all b17s, you get back from a mission, a few of the groups
are down a few planes as they are damaged. If you have more than 48 b24s, go
though your groups, find one that has damage, missing a few bombers, switch
that group to b24s and then back again, you will have all 5 groups of 17s at
full strength when you do this trick on the damaged groups. Another reason not
to go making new groups as they first become available due to this “feature”
and the need to train a new group up before flying them with your older/trained
groups. Always keep more then 48 of one bomber type or another at all times to
do this.
