CivJunkie,
You say "Air Units Suck" and "Armies Suckman" but it is fairly clear from your posts that you don't have much experience with the game, or at least not much experience with the units you denigrate. Is it possible, perhaps that YOU suck?
Just kidding, but seriously, I think the bombard units are just about right in CivIII. First off, the AI doesn't really know how to use them, so the more powerful they are the more of an advantage the human player has. Second, while they are only effective at beating up on units in cities if used en masse, they are pretty effective at beating on units out in the open, even in relatively small numbers. They are great for strategic defense, and for naval support. Third, the CivII stealth fighters you mention were indeed awesome - they were seriously overpowered (as were several units in CivII).
I will leave it to others to enlighten you on the subject of armies.
