WTF do you expect to hit like that? Think back to Khe Sahn and how air power was used there. Or what about Arc Light over Laos? Those B-52s dropped a bombload an average of every 8 minutes from 1965 to 1972, but did they stop the supply of materials to the Pathet Lao?
In Strike Fighters, it doesn't give any satisfaction to lay out long lines of craters on targets since enemy tank formations are essentially a big square.
Maybe a complete anti-ship mod in the North Pacific would give serious purpose to this bird!
