Description

Western Heavy Bomber

Eastern Heavy Bomber

European Heavy Bomber

Heavy bombers are long-range heavy bombers used to penetrate deep into enemy airspace and attack strategic enemy forces and outposts. They are particularly effective in destroying buildings, resources/population, fortifications, and units including naval. Bombers excel at attacking ground targets, particularly buildings and fortifications which in turn affect the population and ergo resource income. Stacked units are also very susceptible to heavy damage. These aircraft are able to carry and launch cruise missiles. Later tiers are able to bypass bunker defence bonuses. They are capable of carrying and launching 3 cruise missiles every 12 hours.
