The Vulture Bomber drops a stick of five bombs with wide splash. It is the air force's siege weapon: nothing removes a building or a dug-in turret cluster faster.

How to use

Send bombers at what artillery cannot reach: the enemy's power plants, Advanced factories and Radar. Killing power first slows every turret you fly over next. Bombers are slow and turn wide, so they take the full weight of any SAM site on the way in. Clear or bait anti-air with cheaper aircraft, or escort with Fighters against enemy interceptors.
