Long Range Tech & Bombers
Lars replied to Edwin P.'s topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
Excel, the bombers always had the range. Heck, the range of WW1 bombers was great enough to carry out those attacks. A Vickers Vimy was the first to fly across the Atlantic shortly after the war. The only major advance made in bomber range in WWII would be the B-29. -

Yep, it would be nice if you could have bombers spot on the way to a target instead of the way they do it now. For instance, if you did a strike against Berlin, you'd have a chance to see everything within, say, 2 tiles of the bombers path. You'd still have to keep some spotting ability as it was in SC to reflect reconnaissance patrols, but not to the same range. Although a recon toggle to give you that longer range might be a nice add-on for bomber units and would be almost mandatory for the Atlantic U-boat battle. -
Best of the best in the second world war

Best Sub – USS Barb. Ninety five ships, four shore bombardments, four rocket attacks, rescued 16 POW's, and to top it all off, the only ones who actually invaded the Japanese Home Islands (and blew up a train). Check out their battle flag . -

Hmm, I think you need to have the bombers start the war with long range and make Long Range research strictly to give the fighters a chance to catch up. Almost all early-war bombers were "long range" anyway. Even the Ju-88 had a combat radius of 1,300 miles. This would force the player make a choice between flying those early bombing raid unescorted and taking the losses for it or waiting till later when he can add the escort. -
Ah, I see I've been remiss in addressing this. Parabellum, congrats on kicking Sturmy's rear end around the battlefield. You're off to a good start. But you're German, lad. It's expected that you'd go through a poof from one of the Low Countries like ****e through a goose. For your next battle, please taunt someone from one of the Mid-Level Countries, like, say, one of the Pommy bastards...

See dalem? If you had a significant other like Berli and I, you wouldn't have figure out these little problems or cut the grass. In other news, not many turns went out this weekend. Mother's Day, various odd jobs around the house, and last night, just when I had a chance to sit down and send turns, a truly nasty wall cloud came through. The tornado fortunately missed and headed for dalem's place, because he sucks even more than Boo. Turns out this evening. I might even send dalem's first in recognition of his public service in steering whirling vortices.

This whole Berli scenario is gamey and deeply flawed attempt. I'm mean, c'mon, I'm totally surrounded by Italians and not one Italian friendly fire casualty? -

The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors A couple of US Destroyers vs. a Japanese Battleship Fleet. A very good read.
