Well, to that Jap bomber problem, I think you may have limited ammo turned off. In fact, I am sure that is your problem. If you don't have limited ammo on, then they will never run out of bombs, nor will you run out of flak ammo.
In my opinion, the only planes worth buying are the strafers. The P-39 airacobra is only equipped with strafing weapons which keeps them coming back till they run out of cannon ammo. That seems a lot more realistic to me than a strike aircraft flying over, dropping its bombs, then leaving the ground troops to fend for theirselves. Well, whether it is realistic or not is debateable, but I really don't think that airstrikes are done very well in the SP series. This is especially due to the fact that they drop all their bombs the first time over the target (most planes anyways). They drop first a bunch of bombs in the target hex, with only one bomb actually aimed, then drop another group of bombs in the next hex, even if there is no target there. That is simply not how airstrikes are/were conducted. Heck, there is no point in giving bombers strafing weapons if they are never gonna use them more than once.
Anyways, I doubt its possible to fix airstrikes to any manageable degree, but they are still fun to watch, and, especially with SPWAW, to hear.
