Okay so bombers SUCK. if you drop bombs, every fighters at altitude is on your tail or belly, and will try to shoot you down immediately. for that, sure its fine because its player actions, BUT the structural integrity of the bombers is worse than a window, and the gunners SUCK. im not asking for bomber god mode, just make them more realistic by making them sturdier and have better AI gunners (just so they hit more shots sooner)

Uhm… Have you tried not rushing bomb zones through the entire enemy teams? Like fly away, climb and watch for contacts? Or is that too difficult for a single-cell organisms?
Lower tier and light bombers tend to perform far better (B7A2 and B7A2 Homare 23 are both amazing) but I personally wouldn’t be using heavy bombers all that much around tier 4 (I have no clue about how jet bombers play)
No - it depends on the pilot experience, played BR and the game mode.
The best thing in the recent years was the elimination of the way too low contrail alt on most maps. There are still maps with way too low contrail alt (like Smolensk 5.900 meters) but on most maps contrails are triggered above 9.000 meters.
I recommend trying out the B-18B - with the right tactics (reverse climb and go for respawned bases from 8 km alt = orbital strike) you can get 2 bases up to BR 4.7 with one 600kg M50 per base. At 5.0 (=full uptier) you need both to kill a base. I lost not a single B-18B in the last 6 months thanks due to the high contrail alt.
