...And the clip includes a good example of how to deal with those high-altitude bombers. The trick with that is to notice them EARLY and to immediately start climbing as hard as you can. You get some warning whenever an enemy heavy bomber is detected beyond your current visual RADAR range setting. Your RADAR display's background color switches from the usual green to yellow. Whenever you see that, zoom your RADAR range out and check to see if there are high-altitude heavy bombers approaching from long range. Then climb up and shoot them. Even if you don't get them all you can usually weaken their formation and that will help your bases survive and give your repair crews a better chance to keep your side in the battle.
