But - how significant are the new changes

[Jason Petho]

But in real life, aeroplanes parked on airfields don't drop bombs on targets 10 miles away. You make a joke of the whole thing by including it.

First thing you need to keep in mind these were included prior to the on map bombers being available, which would be more likely to be included in von Earlmann Campaign than anything.

Secondly; the planes on the airfield are a quick visual representation of the ground support facilities necessary to keep the bombers in the air. Ammunition supplies, fuel supplies, etc, etc.

As stated above, if you capture the airfield - or even bombard it with artillery, the ability of the airfield to maintain the bombers is no longer feasible, putting them out of action.

Finally; the von Earlmann Campaigns are typically out of the normal scope of the Campaign Series and these units are intended for those and those alone.
