Ametysth -> RE: Airfield bombing (1/1/2011 3:00:33 AM)

Getting 5000-6000 requires bombing fields until there are no planes left.
Way I see it, most frontline airfields will get overrun with German tanks during turn 1 anyway, so bombing them to oblivion is just wasting of bombers which could be used against targets. Losses from bombing itself will be less, around 4000, but after turn 1 you still have the 5-6k total destroyed as the retreating airfield have caused all the damaged/non operational (and some of the operational) planes to become casualties.
On airfields away from the front I still see it as counter productive to reduce Russian squadrons bellow 20-30% of TOE, as this will be bellow his "Required to Fly" strength, keeping them from flying during the first Russian turn anyhow. Replacements will probably arrive equally to all damaged squadrons, which means that there is good chance most of them are still under RtF - strength at turn 2. I feel it is better to hit more targets and disable them, rather than hit fewer to destroy them.
