Bombers are combat aircraft that specialize in air-to-ground combat. They can utilise a wide variety of weapons to destroy ground and naval targets.
Like Fighters, they can only operate within 2000 blocks of an Aircraft Carrier or 400 blocks of a Zeppelin. They cannot fly over besieged enemy towns.
