Units in Fight for Freedom #16: US strategic bombers
Carpet bombings make for some of the most striking images of the Second World War - there’s a reason why the sight of leveled cities was often described as “moonscape”. Not many planes were capable of bringing such destructive power across such great distances - and the United States Air Force had an entire series of them.

The legendary B-17 “Flying Fortress” was a sturdy and reliable machine. Its payload was respectable, and its overall performance sufficed for hundreds of bombing raids across the entire Germany. The largest raid ever conducted by the Americans on Berlin consisted mostly of B-17s - and their combined might was horrifying.
[h2]B-29[/h2]
Then, B-29 came around, dubbed “Superfortress” - its payload was 9000 kg. They wrought havoc across the Pacific, including the firebombing of Tokyo, and the nuclear detonations over Hiroshima and Nagasaki - the three most destructive air raids in the history of mankind.
[h2]B-36[/h2]
B-36 was slated to become their successor, improved in every regard, but by 1946, it was too little, too late. Although, it is not too late for them in Strategic Mind: Fight for Freedom, as we have an alternate history ending in 1946, allowing you to use B-36 in battle.

In the US campaign, for the first time in the Strategic Mind series, the player would have the
option to acquire Strategic bombers as core units. All three units: B-17, B-29, and B-36 will be available for upgrades as one series, which makes upgrades cheaper. They will have passive ability Overwatch breakthrough (similar to that of the fighters, but no need to activate it). Another unique skill is Strategic bomber, that allows the flying fortresses to deal extra damage to infrastructure and reduce the ammo and fuel of the enemy units by destroying their supplies. On top of that their combat parameters, especially defense, will be quite high. All this glory comes at a hefty cost though, both for the acquisition and repair.
