Convince me why I should build attack bombers. I never use them, for these reasons:
1. Shorter range than tactical bombers, meaning you need more air bases and you spend more time refueling during hops.
2. Less HP than tactical bombers, meaning they wear out and become ineffective sooner.
3. Better at killing heavy armor, which is already countered by artillery, a unit everyone starts to build on day 2.
4. Worse at killing infantry, which has a better AA value, and is harder to kill from the air to begin with.
I've read posts where people claim to mix bombers to deal with mixed stacks. This to me makes the least amount of sense. You end up with the range of an attack bomber, just to wear out tanks faster. But tanks in mixed stacks are easy to kill. Just hit them with tactical bombers, the infantry take damage, and become even slower. Now the enemy has a mixed stack moving at the speed of wounded infantry. They are sitting ducks for your artillery, don't even need to waste air power on them any more. I love killing mixed stacks this way.
In summary, I have no use for attack bombers, and I don't understand why people build them.

Attack bombers is one of the most important units u will need.
It can play three roles:
1, anti heavy armored
2,anti un armored
3 anti ship
attack bomber in a large stack( more than 10) can do almost the same thing ur tactical bomber and naval bomber can do, so its extremely important, and its the only one who can damage panzers efficiantly
Except possibly in Axis, tactical bombers do more damage to heavy armour than attack bombers do to unarmoured. However it is true that attack bombers on their own do more damage to light armour than tacs and are better against ships.kifx1e wrote:

Also, you may want to change that pfp with the visible swastika and obvious uniform of likely the worst war criminals of the 20th Century to something more wholesome, partly because it's against Bytro's laws to glorify such things and because a company operating in Germany has legal issues with the depiction of the Nazis and SS.
