== Description ==

The Bomber is the second-strongest air-to-ground offense, behind only the [[Strato Destroyer]] in terms of power. It can attack with large clusters of powerful Fuel-Air Bombs, but like other aircraft, is vulnerable to attack from [[Anti-Air Veteran]]s, [[Anti-Air Vehicle]]s, and [[Fighter]]s. Like [[Gunship]]s and Strato Destroyers, the plane is capable of attacking an enemy [[Battlestation]] with little fear of a counter-attack, except from enemy anti-air support.

 

"The Valentine B-58 has a payload of fuel-air bombs that can pulverize ground targets. However, without [[Fighter (Battalion Wars)|Fighter]] escort, the B-58's two <span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_machine_gun HMG]</span> blisters offer only light defensive capability against enemy air attack."

 

"When first brought into service, the Too-22 Maxim Gorgi strategic bomber was the largest offensive air vehicle in the world. Long since superseded by [[Strato Destroyer]]s, it still serves as an iconic symbol of [[Tundran Territories|Tundran]] air might."

"The maximum payload of the Merseychester Bomber is limited by its large single-wheel undercarriage. Discussion of the origin of this rather impractical feature is considered bad taste in [[Anglo Isles|Anglo]] Air Force circles."

 

"Hundreds of cities were leveled beneath the wings of the Feratu heavy Bomber. It was the Feratu which formed the vanguard of the [[Iron Legion|Legion]]'s first assault on the world, the skies of the Coral Atolls turned black by ten thousand Bombers approaching across the ocean."
