Strategic bombers useful?

[calvinhobbesliker]

I mean if there are no fighters. If there aren't, and your bombers have nothing better to do besides overkill some Chinese, then why not?

Well that goes w/o saying if you can catch them w/o ftrs (SBR target of opportunity). You could even do it if you greatly out number them (like 4 to 1), because they probably won't send their ftrs up. It would be really cool if they sent their AA gun to def Burma or China, and didn't replace it yet. Generally UK has its ftrs at India if your anywhere with-in range. Sometimes there are Anz ftrs there too.

You don't need an AA to defend an IC

Oh yea, brain fart I knew that.

One good use of SBR would be if either Anz/UK had enough ftrs w/in range of a mid sized ��� fleet using an island AB (ftrs) for cover. US could SBR the AB so the ��� ftrs can't scramble. Then the minor powers could drill the ��� navy. The US would have to be willing to loose some ftrs though plus have enough bmrs (that survive) to make the hit. With my luck though I would have two US bmrs left and roll snake-eyes leaving the AB functional.
