I was surprised to see people flying the S-22 and the Gotha. The videos and streams were very exciting. The S-22 was included because it is the Russian map and it can survive against the early planes if escorted.
My judgement may be clouded by my personal experience. I find all the large bombers very easy to shoot down. While I like flying the big bombers, many of our targets are very small and some are moving. Not ideal for high altitude bombing. That is why the largest number of bombers available was 10 FE 2B for Entente and only 8 Roland Cl2 for Central. The Roland is faster and a bit OP for the plane set. Lower numbers combined with a lower bomb load was an attempt to even things out. 
I would suggest however that the replacement for the S-22 would be the HP- 400

The N-28 has been used against Albs on War Grounds for many months. It has been a good match. It is not a crappy plane. It is an unused plane because people want to fly their favorite.   The HD1 is perhaps another story. Some people actually want to fly the plane.
 
We try and use a variety of plane sets so that we do not get stagnant. We want to offer a different experience. Unfortunately there is not much choice in Central planes.
 
Does replacing the 10 of HD1 with Camels sound better? This would still leave 8 HD1.  And if we replace the HD1 with Camels do we need to replace some Pfalz D3 with a couple of Fokker Dr.1? "Willie, you and Stachel will fly the triplanes. Be e careful with them. They are likely to be the last we will get."
 
As to the front line trench attack, the normal trench line AAA has been moved to the Center of the Mud. It shoots at both sides and the trench attack points are far enough away so as not to activate the AAA. The original target was 2 machine guns, each in their own revetment and a pair of moving horse drawn wagons. While there are 2 Camels the mission needs to be successful by a single plane.  With only 4 bombs the machine gun positions proved a bit difficult. The target was changed to 1 machine gun and 3 wagons. The full circular revetment was changed to an open artillery style so that there could be some splash damage. The problem for the attackers is that you are low and slow over the trenches and an easy target. You can not just run for home because of the AAA between you and home. You have to climb up over enemy lines.  This is the same problem all bombers have when doing front line targets only the Camels are a bit closer to the front.

The tourney of which you speak of in RB3d was called Flying Coffins.
It played two times as a 6 & 8 week tourney's.
Plus during the week it played as a two hour nightly open server game, which was quite successfule.
It was as you say a new and fun game format that brought out the best of pilots tword each other.
The tourneys only ended because the game server was no longer available to me. And RB was on its very last leg.
J30 enyoyed creating and hosting this tournament and all the positive comments made it well worth the effort.
