I had moved everything out that could fly and only lost 2 planes on the ground. Interestingly enough the level 3 forts seemed offer so protection. Troops disruption is only in the 20s and the airfield is still open with only 23 damage. Good news!

But after that things turn sour! The privateers decide to go in all alone. Their escort of P38s flying from the same base decided to tag along the bombers to Saishu-To (flying from a completely different base) despite having Okayama as a specific target... [8|]

Without their escort and only one of the 6 sweep arriving before the bombers they suffer a heavy price and 25 Privateers are shot down. They do manage to score some hit despite everything so the attack wasn´t completely in vain!

Almost 14k. Oddly enough the first 10k was from the Marianas bombing campaign. The big manpower targets (Tokyo/Osaka) burned like crazy back then. But once some of the Manpower got burned down returns started to diminish quickly.
The last bombing of Osaka which reached almost twice the number of fires I managed before only burned down about 150 LI and HI. When I started from the Marianas I could burn down down 200-300 per night with half the fires. Damage is most certainly tied into the number of Manpower at the base. Osaka/Tokyo is really the only the two targets where its worth hitting Manpower at all. And once enough Manpower is knocked out it will be more effective to hit the HI/LI directly.
ORIGINAL: JocMeister
Could be a combination of both or one of the two If you hit a place like Takao (8 MAN, 41 LI) you won´t burn down a single point of LI despite getting a good amount of fires going. But hit the LI directly and it will be gone in a night. I don´t know if that is related to the low number of LI or the low number of MAN.
Since Erik is gone for a week or so I´ll do a sandbox next week and see what I come up with. Should be fairly easy to test. [:)]

I was supposed to do some testing with strat bombing today but ended up playing CIV5 instead! Ooops! [:D]
