From what I see, America and the UK have only 2 bombers for the entire game. How does this work? Not only are the bombers weaker then in standard Axis and Allies, but one lucky Anti-Aircraft shot can destroy them easily. Even if you avoid Anti-Aircraft fire, the most casaulties possible is 2 from bombers. Tell me if these statements are incorrect, and are there any ways to get bombers back? I like the 50% hit chance for bombers, but they should either get multiple targets, or be invulnerable to anti-air fire, or at least be able to be repaired or stunned or something. Anyway, that's my opinion.

And you won't be disappointed. More to come on bomber repairs in a couple weeks.

Yeah, I figured that Mike would have something up his sleeve as far as the Bombers were concerned...I'll bet they kick some supreme ass.

I am almost starting to feel sorry for the Germans already! Hope they have some means to pick themselves up and at least make it a fight!

I think this whole game is going to be great!
i was alittle disappointed with the small numbers of aircraft, mainly the lack of german air, but i get the feeling it will be made up for somewhere else in the game.

While we're drooling over the coolness of bombers and bomber repairs, let's not forget that the Bombers get to target their attacks on specific axis units. Extra bonus super cool.

I agree that the targeting is what makes the bomber POWERFUL and the fact that it gets to fire BEFORE AA fire. Take out the Artillery and it can't hit the bomber. COOL!!!
