topic supposed to be strat bomb ofcourse.

more tips, have several bombing squads

fixed the thread title :)


Leningrad, if memory serves, doesn't really have much (if any) IC left after the soviet IC move events kick in.

The closest "valuable" target that I can think of is Moscow, the rest is basically behind the Urals.

I am playing Germany, i can fly from Königsberg, Brest Livotsk, Stanislawov and Odessa, what is my Strat. Bomb target?

(Except Moscow)

You can measure your possible targets from each airport, as long as you have a squad, any squad in it. (Maybe there is another method.) Check out targets in the Caucasus; one of the provinces has 9 IC, and another has 6, if memory serves me.

Perhaps you should use your bombers tactically--destroying the infrastructure of certain provinces to slow down retreating Soviet units while your TACS destroy them.

Tblisi and Baku come to mind. I'm assuming the close resource targets (Krivoy Rog, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, Stalino, and Kursk) will soon be yours, so bombing them makes little sense.

Bombing infrastructure to stop enemy retreats is a good idea in this situation. Just don't bomb the places that your units will be encircling through.

Strat bombing Soviet Union isn't very smart because after Moscow next highest IC is somewhere in Urals after they all move there.
There's no point bombing their IC because it's spread so thinly all over the place. At first I was totally puzzled how the hell did they have so damn high IC when Moscow was only one with +14 IC at start :rofl:

Due to the spread and the location, strategic bombing of SOV is not very effective as others have mentioned. You can click on provinces to see how many factories they have, but you don't find juicy targets besides Moscow until you get further east. After you take Stalingrad and rebase there, there can be more reachable targets especially if Lend Lease kicks in one or more times for SOV.


command = { type = construct which = ic where = 1416 value = 2 } #Irkutsk
command = { type = construct which = ic where = 1552 value = 2 } #Omsk
command = { type = construct which = ic where = 1548 value = 2 } #Novosibirsk

Building STRAT bombers is a far better plan for the USSR than it is for Germany... since Germany (and also Romania) is a far more vulnerable target for them than the USSR is.
