  • precison Bombing

    I think it would be better if Precision bombing would only take out military units instead of Improvements. Or better yet
    you can choose what to bomb so you can use your stealth bombers to take out SAM sights.

    IIRC, I believe that precision bombing will be included in Conquests.

      I mean actually choosing what to drop your bombs on not just
      random bombing.

        This would be an excellent addition. The way it is now, I never use percision bombing. I like the idea of being able to pick a target. Perhaps each target should have a different probability of a successful strike. Some targets might even require multiple hits in order to be destroyed.

          Yeah and modern units like stealth fighter/bomber will
          have a higher success rate

                I don't even know what precision bombing is supposed to do now. WHen you prec. bomb there should be a drop down menu that lets you pick a target; and of course sometimes you'll hit something else and sometimes you hit nothing (other than dirt).

                  I think its supposed to target city improvements. kinda stupid you dont really want to destroy a city you want and you could
                  do this with normal bombing anyway.

                        Or perhaps radar artillery and cruise missle. Something would need to be added in order to keep the balance however.

                          damage so i never get them.

                            Precision bombing

                            I may be wrong about this, because my games almost never last to the point where I have precision bombing tech, but I thought that the way it worked right now, as of a patch to Civ III pre-PTW, was that precision units can use the precision function which targets buildings (as was explained above), but that when they chose regular bombing missions they were less likely to hit things other than the city defenders. Therefore, if you want to mess up the city, use the Precision mission, if you want to capture it, use the Bombing mission. Am I imgaining this, or does this functionality not work?

                              I agree precision bombing for cruise missles would be a good improvement, I'm not sure if we can change this in the editor but I'll check. I've already increased the range of my cruise missles to about 8-10 tiles, which on a large map is not very much. And yes, the AI uses the increased range very effectively. Trust me, I've had half my navy wiped out in a massive suprise attack with CMs and bombers once or twice.
