Tactical bombers

**Tactical bombers** deliver precise blows at enemy units from the air. They are especially effective against vehicles with poor protection, like trucks and guns, but also useful against armoured vehicles like tanks and recon units. However, they are much less effective against infantry. Tactical bombers can be very valuable assets in an offensive, but they are very vulnerable to both enemy aircraft and ground anti-air systems (especially when attacking), and so must be used with great care.

* Tactical bombers are one of the best counters for enemy tanks and artillery. While strategic bombers are very effective at suppression, tactical bombers can rapidly strike and destroy enemy armored formations, saving you the hassle. They're also very good at dispatching enemy naval forces.
* Of course, they require a lot of fighter cover and usually shouldn't be brought in until air superiority is achieved, particularly the earlier models.

Tactical bombers are truly mighty offensive weapons, capable
of dealing heavy damage to ground units below (especially
more vulnerable targets such as trucks and tanks). As they are generally
designed to deliver precise attacks, they tend to be less effective against
infantry. They are also quite vulnerable to attacks from enemy fighters (so
it is always a good idea to have a fighter in an adjacent hex to provide
support) and anti-air guns, so they should be used with care.

The tactical bomber category in the purchase screen is also
home to some recon aircraft. These units cannot fight, but have
a large spotting radius and a cheap cost. Like recon units on the
ground, they can also provide an accuracy bonus when other friendly
units attack an enemy directly underneath them.
