Heavy and medium bombers as air support in arcade ground battles

Am I the only one that feels heavy and medium bombers should not be included in close air support for ground battles as that wasn’t how they were historically used? I’m fine with dive bombers and rocket armed fighters, but B-17s, B-25s, B-29s and the like were formation bombers used for carpet bombing large areas. If you want to call in a formation of bombers to bomb the map then do that, but not one medium or heavy bomber loaded with 1000 lb or 2000 lb bombs. If you still choose to keep them in then nothing larger than 500lb bombs should be permitted. Watching your whole team get knocked out from one bomber is just ridiculous. Keep it to the the planes that were actually called in for close support.

naaaa I enjoy it. Bring on the carpet bombing. BUT… it SHOULD be able to kill teammates as well.
