As a very experienced mp player most servers BAN strat bombers in rulesets or mods.

This is because the investment required for strat bombers is far larger than the cost of strat bombers in a ic/research comparison

You would need AA techs, heavy fighters(worse than fighters in combat vs fighters, so they only have one use).

Tactical bombers with strat destruction does the job very well with air superiority and max efficiency. Just settle with tactical bombers as the primary bomber.

You should also ban ping ponging with bombers all togethet

Ping ponging got addressed a long time ago, you're apparently working with out of date info. Strats take over a month to build up to max efficiency now.

Another very important note about the posted screenshot which is described as "proof": In the screenshot there isn't fuel in the topbar, and also there is still Unity instead of Stability and Warsupport. Meaning this screenshot is extremly old.

I just assumed it was a terrible UI mod, but I didn't want to say anything. :p
