Patrol Strategic Bombers or attack with them?

If you want to destroy buildings, use attack if you want to count, use patrol(honestly, just use interceptors).

There is no point in having them following unless you are willing to not sleep and do micromanagement all night.

Yes there is, what if I don't want my fighters to be a part of the attack, which would cause a refueling period? I'm just looking for answers

If you want to, you could, but IF your strategic bombers get attacked mid-flight, then what? I don't know why you would want your fighters patrolling over the city instead of escorting your bombers.

Or maybe you mean... moving the patrol radius every 30 seconds to keep up with the attack? I don't know how that would work...

I appreciate the input. Hopefully someone else also has more insight and possibly further explanation for my original question

Interceptor ranges are short, i think you patrol it before the strats to it's maximum range, then you use attack command on strats to damage further distanced targets, any enemy interceptors will be too slow to intercept strats before it reaches friendly interceptor range, but this is practically useless.

I suggest you stack your ints with strats, upgrade your interceptors for Increased ranged

oh and patrolling does not damage buildings, unless new update changed stuff, which i dont think it has

Exactly the response I was looking for. Thank you

I ended up having the strategic bombers stacked with fighters all the way until the attack went through, I split the fighters and then just kept moving the patrol circle of the fighters as the strategic bombers flew home

alr cool, that's good practise but it's exhaustive..

What would the crews of strategic bombers do after dropping their payloads in the event of a nuclear war? vidmate instagram video download

Hello all,

I was wondering if it's best to patrol with strategic bombers or utilize the attack function with the goal of destroying buildings?

Does patrolling strategic bombers over a province hurt the buildings at all?

Also, is it better to have your fighters stacked with the strategic bombers or patrolling around the bombers whenever they are attacked?

Ps. Yes, I could/would micromanage the whole thing

Strategical bombers are slow and need to fly far so flying back and forth after every attack and refuelling 30 seconds would be very inefficient. On patrol you would do way more damage. However with every minute that you patrol the chance increases that you will get counterattacked by interceptors. Even if you see them coming and pull out you won't be able to outpace them. So yes patrol would be more effective in terms of damage output but it comes with a high risk of losing your bombers all together.

If you attack it will be more time consuming but if you chose a different target with each attack, the enemy won't know where you will show up next. This reduces the risk enormously. There is a reason why the Russian Nightwitches were so effective. The glided towards the target during the night with the engines turned of, not to give them away.
