¶ Intro
Bombers are aircraft with the ability to carry large payloads of explosives, deployed in tactical or supportive roles. Dive bombers and tactical bombers are the dominating classes, while the dive bombers focus on supporting the infantry and precise attacks, and tactical bombers on the elimination of a general target area.
Bombers, just as the fighter, emerged in the First World War, as pilots started carrying grenades and small bombs on their planes, with later dedicated air frames being built.
