Bomber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Perhaps the one meaningful distinction at present is the question of range: a bomber is generally a long-range aircraft capable of striking targets deep within enemy territory, whereas fighter bombers and attack aircraft are limited to 'theater' missions in and around the immediate area of battlefield combat. The development of large strategic bombers stagnated in the later part of the Cold War both because of spiraling costs and the advent of the intercontinental ballistic missile, which was felt to have equal deterrent value while being much more difficult to intercept. Strategic bombers are primarily designed for long-range strike missions against strategic targets such as supply bases, bridges, factories, and shipyards. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bomber   (779 words)

AXIS & ALLIES ENHANCED REALISM RULES Fighters and Bombers may move their entire flight range to a friendly territory during the noncombat movement phase if they were not used in any combat missions in that player-turn. Bombers and fighters are NOT subject to interception when they leave the target territory, since aircraft RETREATING from a battle are NOT subject to interception from enemy units which were part of that battle. After any defending artillery fire is resolved, any defending fighters located in the same territory as the industrial complex under attack may INTERCEPT the attacking bombers and their escorting fighters for one round of interception combat. www.angelfire.com /biz2/axisalliesrules/advancedairpower.html   (1445 words)

C4ISRJournal.com - Demise of the fighter-bomber? Demise of the fighter-bomber? - To avoid heavy losses to enemy fighters, the Allies had to provide the bombers with fighter escorts. Despite the early use of fighters for ground attack, by the 1930s most air forces had decided to field specialized aircraft to perform this role and design fighters solely for air-to-air combat. At the beginning of the 20th century, the cavalryman was the elite of armies just as today the fighter pilot is the elite of air forces. www.c4isrjournal.com /story.php?F=281310   (2542 words)

Robotic, Unmanned Fighter-Bombers To Begin Test Flights Soon For example, a manned fighter could be surrounded by a box of UCAV's acting as decoys or else armed with cluster bombs to keep enemy heads down whilst the humans perform a more surgical strike. Their smaller size, lack of pilot interfaces and training requirements, reusability and long-term storage capability all mean that UCAV's are projected to cost up to 65 percent less to produce and then up to 75 percent less to operate and maintain than future manned fighter aircraft.. It's unlikely that idea will ever see daylight though, since if a sub is going to launch aircraft, it may as well put up a lighted billboard to advertise its presence. www.rense.com /general5/rob.htm   (1013 words)

Obsidian Fleet - View topic - Yes, the questions continue... A broadsword configured in a bomber role with a pair of weapons pods, can if engaged by another fighter eject the pods and regain its dog-fighting capability, a conventional bomber would not be do that, it would more likely be destroyed than a strike fighter. Now the role for fighter bombers/ strike fighters is more one of close air support, or of hunting targets of opportunity. Also an aerospace fighter is quite capable of engaging and destroying a atmospheric fighter of similar class, where a bomber would again be totally reliant upon an escort package. www.obsidianfleet.net /phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=6982   (1224 words)

Steve Pugh's Star Wars fighters for Full Thrust The TIE Bomber can carry various payloads and so can be configured before the battle as either an attack fighter or a torpedo fighter.
