What to Bomb in Japan?

Post by cassius44 »

Finally have two groups of Liberators in range ready to pound Japan into rubble. [:)]Question is - what to bomb? [&:]

- The 2 or 3 oil centers?
- Big HI cities? (more hits at bigger sites, yes?)
- Naval/Merchant/Repair Shipyards?
- Aircraft Factories?

Manpower, Armaments, Engines, and Vehicles factories strike me as less effective.

Or simply do Port/Airfield to hit existing units and impact offloading oil/resources?

Would appreciate any comments on what the best target to bring Japan to its knees is.

Thanks, Cassius

Manpower attacks cause fires that will damage and even destroy industry.
But bombing oil centers will shut down Japanese economy sooner or later.

Go for HI or manpower. They're the basis for everything else. As you get more bombardment groups on line, expand the target set.
