Bombers are weak, in Diety mode at least. Half the time they get shot down, the rest of the time, they'll only take off 2 HP tabs, only rarely lethal. I can have a stack of 10 bombers and would be lucky if I kill one full health mech. inf. I have only found use for them after nuking a city, and getting rid of the remaining mech. infs.
Since I am playing in a huge map, with my weakest opponent having 27 cities and my strongest about 80, I can't afford 10 plus bombers per city, especially as I only have 10 or 11 productive cities due to feudalism. However I have tuned up 3 or 4 of my cities to produce 150 shields a turn, and therefore 3 or 4 nukes per 2 turns. The rest of the productive cities produce modern armour.
