Bomber

Heavy Aeros designed to carry dedicated ground attack equipment.

Usage
Bombers are large, heavily armored aircraft with a high payload capacity and low avionics, and are designed for bombing runs and knocking down high value targets such as factories. Bomber aeros are not very mobile when it comes to pitching and rolling, but they do have high yawing rates, making this class of aero great for precise course changes on straight-line bombing runs. All that armor, payload, and size comes at a cost to speed and acceleration, and bombers tend to be rather slow, though not the slowest planes in the game. Thus, turn-and-burn dogfighting is generally limited to the lighter or experimental bombers such as the KONDOR or ODIN.

A bomber's main perk besides mere access to heavier bombing equipment comes in their ability to ensure reliable ground destruction. While other classes can reasonably be expected to knock out land objectives without major issue, a well-equipped bomber can generally do so far more efficiently, with minimal time spent on redundant passes. This class of plane is therefore well suited to grinding for cash, as well as the occasional quick-kill of certain very risky targets.
