| Carpet Bomber (BMB) |
Also called heavy bomber, this plane may be used in one of three ways. It may strategically bomb enemy cities, attack enemy units in a land or sea combat zone or it may drop up to two paratrooping units. All of these expose the heavy bomber to any existing anti-air defensive units. It may fly over other player's zone's in relative safety if a fly-over agreement had been reached. While they are not cheap at 21 credits, they seem really expensive when lost in combat. When dropping paratroopers, there is a 1-in-6 chance that one of the units will perish in the attempt; regardless of how many units jump. Carpet bombers are the most effective means of strategic bombing, doing up to 10 credit's-worth of damage. If doing enough strategic damage in combination with multiple units or other types, the enemy cities may lose economic and production capacity. They are a very effective attacking unit when taking on enemy forces at land or sea, destroying their targets 66.6% of the time. They are barely capable of defense, so they shouldn't be stationed closest to enemy fronts. Unescorted transport ships and landing ships are extremely tempting targets. |
