Exploiting [Operation] Missions (SB)

TODO

Generally favours anything with bombs, yet again a reason why U.S. is OP, but still may favour the higher intelligent players that play both fighters and ground attackers.

In a nutshell: These missions are generally extremely in favour of ground attackers because RB-style missions do not penalise a team for their own deaths unlike tank battles. The best way to win is to destroy a few marked targets on the map. Generally speaking, most targets are worth 100 points (tanks/pillboxes) which are generally speaking easier to destroy as a light attacker or fast bomber than destroying bombing bases (100 points). Airfields have just one hitbox, which is typically just a spherical or rectangular prism and the ground within that spherical prism are the "hit-able" parts with bombs. For simplicity sake just think of it as a rectangle box that may or may not have a circular end.

Generally speaking it is nearly impossible for a fighter-only class to win the game on their own unless they manage to destroy every player and every bot that replaces them as well as every player that may join mid-session to replace those bots etc.

The most common exploit grinding session mission is [Operation] Britain a.k.a. Battle of Britain. For some reason Gaijin removed the English Channel map which was in my opinion, the best fighter vs fighter jet map that SB has to offer for rank 6 but they left the old [Operation] Britain which only consists of England. Anyway typically bombers just join team A and airspawn, dive and bomb, rinse and repeat. Before the RP cap removal, it was more efficient to exploit a [BOT]/AI bug which the chinese used a lot, where bots on a refreshed session wouldn't take-off and just sit on the airfield. This has since been fixed and because EC repair costs are half of actual repair costs, people no longer J-out of these sessions after realising the repair costs of bombing with the half bombing reward potential vs EC which is good, although it is still an issue in EC.

The old bombing grind sessions used to last as short as 2 minutes with the AI bot exploit but I highly advise not to do it anymore because the AI exploit is no longer there.
