Key to Allied success is coordinating bomber sorties between the fighter groups that have expressed interest in doing some bombing. Each frame it would be ideal to have the nomads and raiders in bombers joined by a fighter squad flying bombers for one sortie. They then could go back to fighters and escort different fighter squad flying bombers for one sortie. To that end all fighter squads can choose the B17G or P38J as one aircraft type, leaving them with the P51B and P47D for the two other aircraft types. With airstarts in Holland you can be into Germany quickly but its best to avoid routes near the Luftwaffe airstart bases as much as possible so they will have to break away and go a long distance to use them. Industrial targets are tough so you will have to use a good amount off bombs on each one to get the 90%+ structures destroyed. Flak will be thick over Germany so stay as high as possible. If you are near the German airstart fields try and be at least 25,000ft high to avoid being bounced.

Do you have bomb damage values and object hardness values posted?

Not sure what they are using in the MA these days but it should be the same values.
Did not bring in the FW190A8 or P51D as they are not available in the time frame. P51B has a completely new FM and should perform amazing up to 40,000ft.

Sleepy, can you share the bomb values with me?

Do you know the distance to half the blast strength for each bomb?

I have been taking picture of the nearest field for IP planning.

Jabo, the F78 AL Factory location does not have a blue number designation on the planning map. Can this be updated?

The factory objects are all pretty close to each other in the ETO. Just get the salvo timing right and you should do some damage. Dont count on your drones much to hit anything. With a limited number of players flying bombers even the loss of 1 or 2 can be critical in destroying 90% of a factories structures. So dont plan it tight trying to take out 3 targets in one sortie. Get one RTB and then relaunch with an airstart to get another. Depends of course how many bombers show up but the DRs are notorious for not giving their turnouts until the frame starts. I would probably assign them and the nomads to one target and the fighter squad that wants to fly bombers for a sortie to another.

I think I missed something. Can the Allied bases on the continent with airstarts only be used on follow on sorties, not the first sortie?
