because the planes flight at always the same speed, regardless of engine performance and weather and a whole lot of factors.  We can try, but success isn't that simple.  night bombing have historically been difficult.

[VoidSlayer]

If we are going to do something like this a dedicated long range bomber would be a better idea.

[Kot]

Right now we're just throwing ideas around beacuse apparently everyone agreed on stuff and we're just waiting for turns to advance, but yeah, long range, high alt (turbochargers) bomber might be a nice thing. I am just afraid it will be costly.

Accuracy hitting the right building was hard, hitting the right town was easy.
It's highly unlikey that our bombers can do any real economic damage to moskurg.
We'd need to be able to drop a million kg of explosives in one raid, that is the level of bombing we need to hurt a city.

Don't we like have an frontline somewhere with trenches and stuff? Why don't bomb their frontlines so hard that their trenches, soldiers, tanks, artillery, everything become one big crater. That would be short-term use, long-term use would be figuring out how to bomb their factories.

[Sheb]

Bombing a thousand tons of explosive is doable with a good cheap bomber. I'm not sure bombing cities would be that effective, but we could target some of the factories producing some of their weapons to make them more expensive.

[andrea]

besides, I am not sure if it will be allowed. We are on a small island, but our plans basically only hit the front line. We should already have enough range to reach their capital.

actually, why not do a test? unless they get a new, cheaper, aircraft ( or revise their to use less fuel, which is possible) we are going to have air superiority. We could order a squad to drop a few bombs on the capital and see what happens. No effects likely, but if our planes can reach it, we can scrap long range from the list of requirements.

I'd say drop leaflets, not bombs. No need to upset the international community prematurely.

[Kot]

Drop polar bears.

[andrea]

that works too. What I want to discover is if our aircrafts have the range, any destruction we could cause would not be enough to offer military advantages as well. Leaflets however, with rebels already organizing...

[Sheb]

Drop tigers infected with smallpox.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

drop tigers with STDs

[Aseaheru]

 Why not drop tigers with smallpox and STDs, holding fliers?

[Sheb]

Isn't smallpox also a STD?

[Aseaheru]

 Thats a different pox.
