got your point on that one. intelligence is a requisite for precision bombing of unmarked targets. for that, you have no choice but to rely on humint which, i understand, has a less-than-50%-chance of yielding useful information.

but falcon jun's battle of britain example just illustrated my question. what could make a commander decide between pin-point bombing and surgical incursion-attack by a small ground force to destroy something like an airbase or a radar installation?
