With the bomber rework recently, perhaps a rework or rather rollback of the base respawning system can be made so bombers have more purposes in matches, such as bombing airfields like back in the good old days, or perhaps a gamemode more tailored to bombers, or changing ARB to have more objectives, alternatively bringing back world war mode and giving bomber missions would be nice.

bombing escort rewards for staying close to the bomber like when b-1 and its Russian counterpart comes a escort from the jets would be nice touch

It would be cool to have actual random asymmetrical battles, with bombers on one side with escorting fighters, and only fighters on the other side

Yes pls
with the current damage models, id be worried the old mechanic would just result in matches being ended too quickly by bombers always getting too target.
But I would like to see the current bases replaced entirely with bases made of actual buildings like we saw from the Deep-Strike event. Those could be much larger, and give a far more meaningful target for a heavy bomber with a lot of bombs. Bases are currently balanced around strike aircraft imo.

I prefer longer matches to 90 second matches.
Just make Nuclear Escalation into “Air PvE” then have nukes in 6.7 or above matches lol
It was epic to have big bombers go in for the first 3 bases and then bomb the airfield and fly one-three times back to the airfield to get more bombs. It was made already difficult when they buffed AA around the bases since for many bombers are just too slow to climb to altitude in 3-6 km.
The old maps like Malta and Norway are still there for props, and honestly are still way better then modern maps with mirrored bases and ground layout. The need to defend against bombers because otherwise you loose makes hunting bombers and protecting/escorting bombers the prime mission for fighters, like in real wars. Fighters exist because without them the enemy would bomb you into oblivion.
