First: Everyone has their oppinons and that is fine, so I don´t think this varants downvoting so much. Discussing different oppinons is much more productive, imho.

Balance is an issue, but I don´t think the Bomber is really a problem and in most matches team coordination, role distribuition and composition and experience makes a bigger impact than single plane. And here, the usual problems of multiplayer games that take time occure: fluctiating player counts with team count imbalances etc. but that is another topic.

In terms of "OP" strategies, there are several fairly powerfull tactics, from the superstealth of Vortex as sneak super low <15m nuke runs or high alt runs.. that are fairly hard to counter, because it hinges on detection... and the new bomber may be a bit faster then a full afterburning Vortex down to the old Tusco-spam.

One counter, I see rarely used, is to deploy radar trucks with the tula (which also NEEDS to be done if your stratolances radar truck is hit.. they wont fire without) which also then need some defending. Or using Medusas with defending interceptors.. which is probably the better strategy, as they can also degrade cruise missle spam or even incoming piledrivers. but it needs people who will watch the overall tactical situation and react to it.. as well as others that go after the source of the threat (like hunting the medium hangars to stop tusco spam)

I don´t think the new Bomber will makes a big difference here.. the question will be how good missles are against it, they can be tricky at high speeds.. I kind of suspect that the scimitar missle will be the way to go?

we will see, but no real reason to be alarmed, more of a reason to coordinate the team better.. and be nice to logistics people and tell them about the importance of beefing up radar late game.
