Oh Arcade, in that case I also need the fast bombers to reach a higher altitude before the MiG-3 decide to go after me, and if they do I also have a chance to dive and waste their energy before dying.
I like to play bombers in GRB, some of them are quite agile and play light heavy fighters, others are too unweildy and I make a game of sniping targets with the bombsight.
If I notice the enemy pilots are less experienced or have brought bad/low tier planes I might try and use the turrets like a gunship.
Sometimes I’ll just use heavy bombers like big goofy attackers and try not to hit trees and buildings.
I can’t say I’ve devevloped a reliable or profitable strategy with bombers, but so long as I’m not too tired or worn out to have fun, I tend to enjoy the novelty of bombers quite a bit
For fun and decent rewards, play sim. Almost any bomber in that mode is a viable option. I’d only avoid light bombers with very small payloads (some like the D4Y are decent dogfighters) and be extra careful with anything that only has rifle-caliber machine guns for defense.

yep
Only bombers I’ve played that have even a semblence of what could be called fun is the ju228 (faster than most things it sees unless uptier) so you can fight on your terms mostly (forcing them into posistions for your 20mm to shred them or at least have a chance) or the TU-2 variants can sort kinda somewhat fight if you are decent switching to turrets. IL28 ISH has some funny stuff you can do with setting fuses on the rockets in headons + gun pods, but its a big gimmick, but halarious when it works. It also isn’t the worst boat in the air.
Bombers in this game pretty much just exist to grind out TT while watching youtube or something on the second monitor for 90% of the game, and then becoming a free kill hopefully for you after you get a base.
Also bv238 with the airfield spawn. Tis nice to sometimes get a posse of fighters to protect you.
