Is it possible to do/create a command that if you i.e. have 10 Bombers, to do a command that can do so all go bomb on one command? just wondering cause I got so many bombers in war and it's boring to click-bomb-click-bomb-click.. and so on.. btw I don't know if this is possible in C3C or PTW, I got just "Vanilla" 1.29 with no expansions...

I don't think it is possible. I've never noticed an option like that. If you're bombing the same spot over again, then you can automate the bombing. Like on a city or something, then they will bomb automatically and you don't have to control them every turn.

Should be a button like the workers have on the same row as the standard bombing button. Wait, you're using Vanilla civ so that may not be an option yet. Sorry. That may have come with one of the expansions.

Autobombard came with PTW, and even if you use Autobombard, you still have to make each of the bombers bomb their target the first time around, and then they'll do it automatically the next turn and the turn after that, etc.

The current autobombard is pretty worthless.

Yeah, I find frequently that my grand armies march so fast and so furiously that after one turn of bombardment, I've already taken the target and have no need for further bombardment.

cant you use these "move all units of the same kind together" option for this?
i think this works. (but i think it was introduced with PTW or C3C)

Stack moves (J or Shift-J) can be used to make stack attacks. Bombing missions, however, are unit orders, not moves (which regular attacks are a species of), and thus can't be done with J or Shift-J.

is there a way to do a command who can be done with J?

No, there is not.

is there a way to convert the command from C3C/PTW to original 1.29? :P

Yeah. Look in your couch, Coat, laundry machine, and whatnot for spare change and buy C3C
