As Axis I am often pleased when the Western Allies use their strategic bombers on ground strike missions.

At this stage of the war, hitting German production is a lot less important than earlier in the war. Any newly produced units won't be on the map for very long, and if you can get rid of some units that are already there, that is worth it.

On production you are right. But how about the oil fields and the SYNTH? Those should be primary targets in the end game. No oil means that the Axis are out of options and planes can only fly one time after they arrive on the map. But with the Italians still able to transport oil out of Persia and Iraq towards Germany, that doesn't seem to be the problem on the Axis side. That's to say: until some day that the Allies are able to capture Rumania or Bulgaria, closing the route for the Middle East oil...

I think the Italian oil already is cut off. At one point a US unit was in Ploesti, and now there is a Russian one, so I think there is a chain of Allied owned hexes blocking the Middle East from Germany. I may be wrong, but I don't think so.
