[QUOTE=Belisarius]I think the 8th AF regarded anywhere within a 500 yard *radius* from the target as a direct hit. Outside was good too.
In all, level bombers in SP:WAW are more of an exotic extra which is useful for some scenarios I guess (like D-day). In ordinary battles, they're a waste of resources.
I wouldn't be surprised if WWII ground commanders viewed them in the same way...might do some good, but don't count on it.[/QUOTE]
AFAIK one US Inf division (don't remember the numer) refused to be given ANY aerial support after few incidents in Normandy:) And somewhere I have read a nasty joke (Oh, it was G. Reagan's "Guiness book of military errors" if my re-translation of the title is correct...):
"When the Brits are bombing, Germans hide. When Germans are bombing, Allies hide, when the Americans are bombing, everyone hides":p
