This bomber is not as sturdy as the UEF version, and it is not as stealthy as the Cybran version, but it is still a very effective unit. Its smart-bombs can change course slightly, making them excellent ACU-killers. Their secondary weapon (decoy flares) is designed to confuse anti-air cruise missiles by emitting more targets to confuse the incoming missiles. The flares have been removed from the game in Forged Alliance, even though they persist in the unit description.
