I love low tier bombers, they are the funniest to play, because they can actually defend themselves. My favorite are probably S.81 and BR.20.
The higher you go in BR bombers become less and less effective, becoming easier targets and poorly competing against strike aircraft and fighters with big bombs and especially napalm containers.
From my recent experience, spading French B-26C, almost every battle there were those Wyverns removing all bases before bombers can achieve them.
You can literally get better bombing experience in stuff like French P-63 with napalm than any real bomber.
IL-28 is better. Load is probably worse, but a 2x23mm turret in the back gives a lot of opportunities.
True. Though I dont think ive ever actually been killed by those turrets, a firestreak always works wonders
USA: AD-4 skyraider, yes it’s a dive bomber
at least for USSR:
rank 1: DB-LK
rank 2: IL-4
rank 3: Pe-8
rank 4: Tu-2S-59
rank 5: IL-28Sh
rank 6: Yak-28B
rank 7: Su-24M
rank 8: Su-34

Sh version can carry a 3000kg bomb which is 1 base + 4 napalms which are 2 bases more.
dont have much experience in bombers because most of them suck however:
Mosquito bomber is very good for 3.7 so id say thats probs best for rank 3
the canberra/B57 are the kings of rank 5 bombers without a doubt.
B57a and mk2 are just bombers, fast enough to get bases or be bomber support in GRB (mk2 can use 4000lb bombs which are superb for CAS)
B57b and mk6 are MONSTERS that will not only get bases in air battles but (because they get guns) then take on the fighters like its nothing. Canberras turn stupid hard to the point that they are as fast as the fighters but can then outrate them in a dogfight. 10/10 bombers i love them

Figures two of the “best” are behind a pay wall and pi$$es me off the Mosquito bomber is only available as premium. The Mk XVIII should have been the premium one …
The bomber mosqutio isnt a premium, its an SQV
OK … Not Available to average Joe …
Why not?
Join a random active SQV and just play the game, will take about a month but you’ll get it for free
How do you get a Squadron vehicle?
Squadron research is earned through just playing the game normally whilst part of an active squadron. If the squadron has enough activity, you can earn up to 20k every 3 days. Its a little annoying time-gating but otherwise its free
So you have to be part of a Squadron to get it. Not part of the main TT and there’s restrictions on it’s access.
Yes, there are quite a few squadrons in the list that are for grindign these alone.
Yep, the only real shame of Squadron vehicles is that they have the same research effeciency of regular vehicles, and so cant really be used for grinding a TT past their rank +/- 1.
Nope, it just unlocks like any other vehicle, then needs to be purchased, crewed and then stock grinded.
For example ive done a few games in the Hunter F58 despite not touching the German air TT and have recently unlocked the F-35
Just play some battles everyday in active squadron and you will earn squadron points real quick.
its a squadron vehicle, free to unlock if you join one.
Its flight model is also pretty screwed up so other than speed (which its lacking still) its not even the “best” mozzie around, thats the NF mk2 (however that beauty isnt a bomber)
it literally is as squadrons are free to join

I meant you can’t just buy it. Not everyone is part of a squadron.
Ah right, its simple enough to join a random squadron, after that you never have to think about said squadron, just play the game normally.
Rank 8: F-15E/F-15I
With the high amount of glide bombs it can destroy 13 ai ground units or destroy 3 bases from a long range.
You can literally release all ur bombs and rtb before even gettins a ath missile shot at you.
