Confused on strat bombers

From your description, my guess is that the patrol center of your bombers was outside the city. That still caught the units inside, using the strategic bombers as less effective tactical bombers. But it had no impact on structures inside the city.

jubs comment on this topic: URGENT! Question about bombing an airfield with units on it.

It seems like you're describing a situation in a strategy game involving level 4 strategic bombers, a level 3 airbase, a level 1 propaganda office, rocket fighters, and a city. Based on your description, it appears that your strategic bomber patrol did not cause any damage to the buildings or have any impact on the city or its surrounding territory.

There could be several reasons why your patrol did not achieve the desired results. Here are a few possibilities:

1. Insufficient building damage: While level 4 strategic bombers have high building damage capabilities, it's possible that the combination of an 80 HP airbase and a 20 HP propaganda office was not enough to be significantly damaged by your patrol. The buildings might have survived the attack with minor or no damage.
2. Countermeasures: The opposing player might have taken defensive measures to mitigate the impact of your strategic bomber patrol. This could include having anti-air defenses, such as missile systems or fighter planes, to intercept or deter your bombers.
3. Ineffective targeting: It's crucial to ensure that your strategic bombers are targeting the right buildings during the patrol. If they were not specifically aimed at the airbase or the propaganda office, they might have caused damage to other non-essential structures instead.
4. Game mechanics or bugs: Sometimes, strategy games can have complex mechanics or unexpected bugs that could affect the outcome of certain actions. It's possible that there is an issue with the game's mechanics or a bug that prevented your strategic bomber patrol from functioning as intended.

1. Review game mechanics: Double-check the game's documentation, tutorials, or forums to ensure that you understand how strategic bomber patrols are supposed to work and how they interact with buildings. Look for any specific instructions or requirements that might have been overlooked.
2. Assess the defensive capabilities: Evaluate the opponent's defenses, such as anti-air systems or fighter planes, to determine if they have a significant impact on your strategic bomber patrols. Consider adjusting your strategy accordingly, such as targeting the defensive structures first or using other units to neutralize them.
3. Experiment and adapt: Strategy games often require trial and error to find the most effective tactics. Experiment with different approaches, such as using larger bomber formations, coordinating with other units, or focusing on weaker targets, to see if they yield better results.
4. Seek community assistance: If you're still struggling to understand why your strategic bomber patrol didn't work as expected, consider reaching out to the game's community. Forums, social media groups, or even the game's developers might be able to provide insights, tips, or explanations about the mechanics involved.

Thank you so much guys.

Makes perfect sense.

I was racing his second stack of rocket bombers to get the patrol circle going first.... And guess what despite the blue circle being over the centre of the city the blue dot was in another territory.

And also the blue circle wasnt over the centre of the territory the blue dot was in so that also didn't get morale damage.

I now understand perfectly and will be levelling many a city
