Heavy strategic bombers can hit factories to slow down production at the source, or rail yards to prevent tanks from making it to the front. At the front aircraft can perform recon duties, and can attack any tank in the open, and while it may not destroy a tank, it will scare it and force the entire tank formation to move only at night to stay undetected, slowing the formation down, which limits their operational mobility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>United States, 1940-1944 (103MB download, please be patient!)
