Why have an Elite Bomber? Does it increase the chance of a successful bombardment? Since it does not have any defense points its status as elite will be irrelevent when it is intercepted. I did some testing and it did not seem to make a difference in bombardment success rates, but I only did 15 bombing runs. Maybe this is not enough runs to see any difference. Does anyone have any ideas? I guess this question could apply to any air unit with a defense of zero...

Elite Bombers... Why?

It doesn't make a difference when bombing. It does matter when it is intercepted though. I've had my bombers kill and injure the intercepting fighters and jets. It has a defense of 2 for use in air-to-air combat.Seemingly Benign

An elite bomber intercepted by a regular fighter would have a 5:6 (45%) chance of winning. Not bad odds at all.A true ally stabs you in the front.

Also if you have modded the bomber to have lethal bombard then you can actually generate a leader by killing a ground unit. (it is quite rare though)* A true libertarian is an anarchist in denial.
* If brute force isn't working you are not using enough.

You would have to have modded the bomber to make it possible for it to become elite, wouldn't you?

Generating a leader is only possible when a ground unit is destroyed though.Do not be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed...

Regular bomber go Elite if they shoot down their interceptor. Stealth fighters and bombers don't because they have no attack or defense values. I mod it to give them 2 defense.A true ally stabs you in the front.

OK, the F-15 is a two seater. So the other guy gets a "spark", and becomes a great leader, opens the canopy and chutes out of the craft? Military genious doesn't equal genious otherwise, eh?
As for Stealths, they rely mostly on "you haven't seen me, right", but also have counter measures, chaf etc.I've allways wanted to play "Russ Meyer's Civilization"

agreed , but the only thing that shoots back on a stealth bomber or fighter is the personal side-arm of the pilot(s) , ....... (!)
its not needed to have standoff weapons on them because they are afterall stealth , ......
not to mention the level the fly at with great speed's , .....
