Stealth Bomber

"NEARLY UNDETECTABLE AND INSTANTLY REUSABLE. THE ELUSIVE STEALTH BOMBER."

Stealth Bomber is unlocked at the start of the game, named after Western Europe's Future Combat Air System.

When used, the Stealth Bomber flies to its target while cloaked. During this time, only a vague outline can be seen, and cannot be targeted by Automated Defence Systems or the Air Defense Dome (manual targeting is possible in multiplayer). Upon arriving at the target, it releases the bomb, removing its cloaking, before returning to the Capital.

The bomb has the same damage and radius as an ICBM and has the same explosion animation.

When returning, it is completely visible and all defenses can target it normally. If the bomber is shot down at any time, the Superweapon must be rebuilt; otherwise, it can be reused immediately. The bomber comes back faster than the speed it has before the bomb drops.

Strengths

 * High damage.
 * Short build time.
 * Evades Quick Defend, ADS and Air Defense Dome when flying towards target.

Weaknesses

 * Destroyed in 1 hit.

Strategy

 * Due to its damage and reusability, it is very useful for destroying neighbouring Superpowers and expanding into their land.
 * Targeting only the edge nations of a Superpower greatly minimises the risk of the bomber being destroyed by enemy ADS.
 * Using the bomber on nations closer to your Capital results in a faster return time.
