Andy,
SB's are NOT easy to destroy using them manually unless you are using them to fly into the same situation as what they would see in an automatic response.
They would NOT be easy to destroy when attacked directly by another player as long as your Air defense and land defense where still in place if it wasn't for the automatic response.
You are facing an enemy in which a war has become active. They have all their offense and defense still intact and they KNOW you have 10 fully upgraded stealth bomber wings.
At this point they fire ONE of any weapon that can reach ANY target inside your country. A stealth bomber unit responds to that attack and flies into that country's full land defense units, along with federation air defense and is completely slaughtered by the defending units responding to the attack by them.
You do that 10 times and all 10 of your stealth bomber wings are stripped of weapons. The wing is still intact and will resupply with expensive stealth bombers if you have them in country reserve. If someone wants to prevent that and has weapons that will actually reach and are effective against SB's you do that 10 more times firing directly at the SB wing and the wing itself is gone. Wings or units with no weapons even though they are still on the map and would resupply are extremely weak and easy to destroy no matter the type.
There is no reason however to even bother destroying the wing. If the wing does resupply the bombers will be killed responding the following attacks.
It has ALWAYS been this way the only difference is, until the introduction of land units the SB's had a chance to do a small amount of damage, but never enough to make them useful in relation to their cost.
You have to kill the federation air defense interceptors OR be fighting a country that has only that one countries air defense to make them useful period as long as interceptors are in play along with land defense units.
Once they are gone then the SB's will pretty much kill everything else with ease and relatively few losses.
You are going to need to rewrite a lot of code in the war engine to make it useful to have them set up against another player OR you could simply add a no response to the drop-down target window for SB's doing an automatic response.
Allowing us to assemble FULL 120 SB wings initially would also help. Then we could assemble them in time of peace to upgrade and disband during war until we were ready to use them.
Auto response IS useful against another player doing a sneak attack. Since they are not capable of doing a sneak attack themselves, they will respond to a sneak attack without doing any damage, but they won't receive any damage either and they will identify who is attacking you in that manner.
You have a LOT of code to rewrite if you want to make SB's useful in PVP before a lot of other things are taken down or, you can simply add a "No Response" to the drop-down target menu. Building full 120 wings initially would be useful too you could assemble, use and then disband.
