Quick answer is that bids seem to keep going up with bids over 20 now common.
yes
just the dollar amount.

i think it is better to reduce the fig escorts from 2 to 1 during air raids
I believe that would make most SBR obsolete. It’s not feasible to muster the double amount of air, just in order to commit for a risky bombing. I think the rule is good as it is with figs having a value of 2 in air battles. Makes sense as well. Although figs then do outclass tacs.
russia is doomed in this scenario . germany can do heavy sbr on her.

Which is one reason why the change would be a retrograde step.

To be honest, I would rather reduce their attack value. …
Yea one could boost them back to 4 when paired with a ftr. Same as how tacs work. Just a thought

@barnee Not sure of too many examples of effective uses of B-17s, Lancasters, He-111, Do-17, Halifaxes, B-29s in support of either naval or army attacks. I’m sure someone is going to say this or that but isn’t that example an outlier, like <ducks> marines attacking Madagascar? Sure, some long range land based planes could be torpedo armed, B-26, G4M, G3M though. I think the strategic bomber is (or should be) more of a B-17 or Lancaster than the smaller twin engined bombers.

So I’d be in favour of a reduction in attack to 2 and perhaps a cost reduction to 10. But no doubt that would be too controversial for the community to accept.

yea it’d boost their value but they can only do one attack a turn. So it means they wouldn’t be able to do something else.
-
tacs as they are now shouldn`t cost more than 10 ipc.
people would still buy figs more often, not as now, but still.
so tac is definitely too expensive at 11
barnee, but fig defends on 4, both land and sea

yea the guys have it down pretty good for the most part it seems, so you’d only want to do a small change. I guess you could always propose an optional rule such as the Marines but it’s probably best to keep everybody on the same page as much as possible.
At any rate be cool to see what they come up with.

yea ftrs and bmbrs are the flavor for sure. Ftrs are air fodder pretty much :)

nobody would buy tacs that way either.

people want bombers to cost 14.
that how u could buy 3 figs for the price of 2 bombers.
it would not be good.

so making bombers cost more is a retrograde since Germany cant swarm in Moscow that easily anymore?
-
@regularkid Seems like a reasonable incremental change. 14 seems reasonable and as Adam said, might makes tacs more viable.

No, your proposed change to weaken escorts would be retrograde. SBR is right as it is. Leave it alone!
-
Well, except the inbuilt AA.

Is there any interest in lowering the attack value of bombers to three instead of increasing their cost?
-
I will prefer to keep cost of bombers at 12 and attack value at 4. There are so many reasons not to mess with any of these numbers. I agree that Germany can project threats to many areas at once with a stack of bombers. If you want to fix that you need to do something with Germany’s income. Remove the Crete objective and/or/partly change (some of) Norway, peace with USSR, Nov/Leningrad/Caucasus objectives to 4. You then achieve pretty much the same thing as increasing the cost of bombers while only targeting Germany.
Is the original post by Regularkid an April fool? I haven’t seen him around for ages and then he suddenly appears on April 1?! :blush: -

Suspect him to stick up his head any moment shouting “April, April!”. :laughing:
And Adam is part of the mod team, right? Complicit. ;)

Would have to be on Hawaii to get before 12pm local time. Doubt the April fool angle.
