I remember we all did the math on SBR’s like 20 years ago. Honestly, I don’t SBR unless it is a critical component of my attack (reducing defense) or if I have heavies (duh). Think about those US bombers for a sec. Had I sent them on SBR’s then eventually they would be whittled down (for 3.5 ipc’s per turn with a chance at losing 15 ipc’s.). If that were the case, I couldn’t have hit your Japanese fleet.

Just some thoughts. :)
