That is where I was headed with the question. Thanks for the response. It
has
been my impression, perhaps erroneous, that the choice of the stream stragegy
was not the best decision at times when a loose gaggle and varying run-in
headings and altitudes between the 2-4 airgraft groupings would have been
more
effective. As I said, only an impression not backed up by much research or
fact.

That makes for lousy bomb patterns on the target.
