You can't even figure out the primary function of a bomber!

It's primary purpose is a weapons delivery platform.

It can also be used as a threat, in some cases making the use as a
delivery system unnecessary..

Just the sight of it over-head can cause enemies severe diarrhea in a combat
zone. *:-)

Usually they fly too high to be noticed by ground forces. Now a "Puff"
or even old "Spooky". (not counting Cobra's and various other
gunships) that would be different story

But a "SBD" (silent but destructive) drop from a Strato? the enemy'd
probably call a day pretty quick.

Puff, at night, was a beautiful sight!

A 20mm gun firing 6000 rounds per minute will leave a nice, wide,
vegetation free path through the woods!
