Hmm. I'm pretty sure they get refueled in air at some point. I think.
The point is we can't do that in Civ 3. A range of '8', hard coded, even on a large or mega map?? It's crazy.
What I miss even more about bombers is being able to INTERDICT enemy RR lines by leaving a bomber on it for a turn. If they can't shoot it down the line is blocked. In Civ 3 we would need HORDES of bombers trying to destroy imporvements to cut a city or beachhead off from counterattack.
Result? Invasions are more difficult. Less fun is had.
My question stands. '8' is both unrealistic historically and bad in game terms. Why is this the maximum range, Firaxis?? Deign to tell us.

I think unlimited bomber range would be very annoying. Every turn dozens or even hundreds (16 civs) of AI bombers will start to bombard anything anywhere within your empire.

I think that the real purpose of limiting the range of bombers is to force players to use aircraft carriers (and airbases once PTW comes out) intelligently. If you could station your bombers in your own cities and bombard wherever you wanted, then aircraft carriers would be completely useless and no player would even build them.

hi ,
its not only the air-units range , there are a couple other fields in the editor that they could also "unlock" and give a greater limit , .....
actually , it is asked from the start of the game , but there was never an answer that helped us , .....
it was mailed , written down in sigs , asked in the chatroom , .....
Gramhos could come up with something , ....
while they are at it , there should be the option to "flag" units with something like " doubles defense against airunits" , .....
have a nice day

I am hoping that the petition will help encourage Firaxis to consider changing the current limit on bombers and other aircraft. Hopefully it will be successful, and we can finally be done with the current limit of 8 squares.
So take a second or two click the link below and vote!

To paraphrase Mr. Strannix: "A movement goes from one point to another and stops, but a revolution keeps coming around in your face." The more exposure you have the more people will see your point and the more responses you will receive. If you haven't posted it here within a few days I guess I'll go over there and vote - if I remember...
