The Arado was a better jet bomber because it at least had longer range and at least 2 bombs

I mean...not the worst of the jets they were making

Most American bombers that weren't heavy generally had some form of armament front facing. From one or two, to 6 or 8 machine guns. The B-25 one of the US's most known medium bombers was one of these. Hell, the B mother fucking 52 has 4 front facing 50s... I think the Havok, Invader and most...

Except even medium bombers like the B-25 had defnesive armement and front facing weapons. If we go by the definition that a light bomber has no offensive armenent and only defensive or non at all, then would that not apply to medium bombers as well? Like variations of the B-25 having multiple...

Yeah the one I talked about is the three crew invader

I shluld realize this by the capabilities of the Avenger and the like So...you don't consider Attackers actual light bombers? And the Hudson, Baltimore, Maryland. The A-20 had a lighter version called the P-70. Most of what the US used were medium bombers, and towards the end they used fighter...

They are the closest thing to a light bomber/attacker next ti the fighter bomber/attackers. The US form what I can gather did not really go into the light bomber discipline, and focused on medium and heavy in Europe, with fighter bombers as the smallest, and fighter bombers, dive bombing and...

Ligh bombers and fighter bombers seemed to replace dive bombing for the allies come the euroipe theater. As the US mainly used said light bombers and fighter bombers during the war A-20's and A/B-26s are an example

Dive Bombers were basically obsolete in the European campaign outside of the eastern front.

The Italians would have to do A LOT for things to work this out properly

Hurricans are that damn good against Italian craft, and fighter bombers are not dive bombers. HUGE diffrence

I forget the US went overboard on arming our BS. I forget they had powerful fighter screens

Even then, compared to their support ships, they were not the BEST but damn good

Battleships are known for having terrible AAA

Except, Dive bombers are not going to magically make any of that differently... What kind of bombs can they carry? Also, Torpedo bombers are actually better then Dive Bomberrs as they are less risk, and you can pull out of an attack run easier. Also, do you think it could be that the torpedoes...

They wernt made for long range bombing like the others. SDB were going in mind with that long range capabilities because they are naval, same woth Val

Those that did carried small bombs
