Need information on Aeronautica Imperialis

Happy Sunday Aero-Commaders! I have a query about AI on bombing runs and the targets and the structure point allocations.  Short of making my own chart I yet haven't found any data on target points, i.e.  1 through 10 + For example a [ Civilian Residence-1], [Ork Outpost -6] etc.  any thoughts or help on this would be highly appreciated.  Short of homegrown rules, maybe I just found it yet since I have all the resources that I have been tried to find.   

Have a great day and holiday.

Hmm, well I have the 1st ed and HH rulesets. I will take a look later and see what i can dig up. From memory, the structure points are listed in the scenarios themselves, so there may be some additional stuff in some of the other books.

 

However, if you are looking to create your own scenarios with structures, then I think there are several variables to consider, including the difficulty of the mission, AA opposition, as well as construction of the target and mission balance. A bit of playtesting and a willingness to swap sides would certainly help.

I can't find my book!  So we'll have to rely on Brother Gillyfish.  I -do- have my cards.

 

I played Tau (never thought I would) and I've got all these Turret Platforms.  They're ALL Structure 2.

 

They got different point values, different FPR firing thingies, all DMG 5+, Effective Altitude of different values and Ground-to-Air Fire, but all Structure 2.  Suggests Structure 2 is like the baseline for military targets...kinda makes sense.  I did do a Bombing Run mission and IIRC instead of bombing, I hovered low, shot them with my Railguns (with the To Hit penalty).  It was easier for me.  I forget if it was against Imperials or Orks, but it was pretty funny.

 

That might be a solution, instead of homebrewing, you can use the actual Turrets from the game to simulate bombing targets.  Like it's actually a munitions factory with an anti-air defense on the roof, precisely because they expect to be bombed.  They make the shells, so they'll just take them to the roof when enemy aircraft are detected.
