Waited 10 minutes , they did not respawn, and AF never became target. I mean, if they don’t respawn and the enemy AF does not become a target anymore, the bombers are left with nothing to bomb when the attackers take the bases first, which is almost always the case?
-
Bases on 3 bases maps never respawn. The sole exception was the old Ruhr map on which you could bomb 3 respawning bases in 1 hour long matches - but this map vanished March/May 2020.
-
Bombing the enemy airfield is still an option on some old / legacy maps - but most of the rather rare 3 bases maps do not open the airfield as bombing target - imho a deliberate income nerf targeted at bomber players.

What you have faced in your match is a bug (from the player perspective, from gaijin’s pov a design choice / income nerf) - i reported this 6 months ago and even wrote a forum post about it - just a few guys supported the bug report or cared about the issue.

A recent post about 3 bases maps:
With some experience you can even determine before you spawn if it makes sense to participate. A specific example: it makes zero sense to spawn a B-17/B-26/Pe-8/Do 217 on the Frontline Mozdok map when half of your team flies very fast strike fighter with bombs - especially when you would spawn on the right side of the map. You won’t get to a base with a standard (high alt) approach as the strike fighters will kill all 3 bases ultra fast. Trying to bomb tanks or to bomb some enemies landing on their airfields is way too hard to execute for most players…
