I think it would go either way, if SF will continue using RH bombers, they will have to state where they got them from, and thus including Rheinland in the war. With Rheinland being a war-machine i think that could work out great but to the advantage of SF.
I would chose to drop the bombers and get Britonia only ships, they have plenty of them so that wont be a problem i guess. If there are questions about how to take on cap-ships after not using bombers, i think that you all have to take a look at your tactical layout and organize waves of fighters with (only) 1 torpedo laucher mounted. Shoot a torpedo or two and get back to your figher slaying bussiness.
Thats my point of view,(ooc) but dont take it too seriously, i still have a lot to learn;)
"War. War never changes. Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything, from God to justice to simple, psychotic rage."
