Cliffs does have bombers, but not the heavies - and the only flyable medium is the He-111 iirc. I know what you mean and it would've been great to see those incorporated at some point in the future to this sim, and I'd have preferred an expansion of the map to include all parts reached by these rather than head off toward the Soviets. Why BoB? I don't know, maybe they saw shooting down a few people in an aircraft, or dropping bombs on military targets better publicity than wiping out residential areas.
Hang on, got it! Air combat over water will use much less resources than a whole city or ten and seeing as it's not very well optimised (just yet) for even that they'll just have dismissed a large scale bombing campaign.
