With the advent of ICBMs the role of the bomber was brought to a more tactical focus in close air support roles, and a focus on stealth technology for strategic bombers.įurther information: interdictor and Attack aircraft High-speed and high-altitude flying became a means of evading detection and attack. With the advent of guided air-to-air missiles, bombers needed to avoid interception. Early in the Cold War however, bombers were the only means of carrying nuclear weapons to enemy targets, and held the role of deterrence. Tactical bombing is aimed at countering enemy military activity and in supporting offensive operations, and is typically assigned to smaller aircraft operating at shorter ranges, typically near the troops on the ground or against enemy shipping.ĭuring WWII with engine power as a major limitation, combined with the desire for accuracy and other operational factors, bomber designs tended to be tailored to specific roles. Strategic bombing is done by heavy bombers primarily designed for long-range bombing missions against strategic targets to diminish the enemy's ability to wage war by limiting access to resources through crippling infrastructure or reducing industrial output. There are two major classifications of bomber: strategic and tactical. Some bombers were decorated with nose art or victory markings. The first purpose built bombers were the Italian Caproni Ca 30 and British Bristol T.B.8, both of 1913. The first use of bombs dropped from an aircraft occurred in the Italo-Turkish War, with the first major deployments coming in the First World War and Second World War by all major airforces causing devastating damage to cities, towns, and rural areas. Missions that reduce their armor or damage can also significantly help with their elimination.A bomber is a military combat aircraft designed to attack ground and naval targets by dropping air-to-ground weaponry (such as bombs), launching torpedoes, or deploying air-launched cruise missiles. Strategize and plan your mission well when engaging them. While the first few Aces employ tougher aircraft, later ones will be deadlier as they'll also employ upgrades including incendiary ammunition or improved guns to their weaponry Hinted in their taunts as they engage your bomber. Other aircraft should be set aside until the target is killed. Gunners, with view and are attacking should use their Focus to maximize their effectiveness whenever they perform a run. It is best advised that you focus on them first as leaving them unchecked will allow them to tear you apart rather quickly. On certain missions, you'll be hinted whenever you'll be expecting an Ace operating in the region as well as their name shortly after take off.Īces appear as a Spade suit symbol under your objectives, including their HP and name, and in the air. You can view the Aces that have been eliminated and Aces still at large in the Briefing room.
Each Ace has a reputable bounty for their death, which is awarded to you as a bonus after the mission in which the Ace was encountered is completed. Unlike normal fighter aircraft, Aces are more powerful, tough, and attack with more complex maneuvers. Enemy Fighter Aces are elite enemies in Bomber Crew.
