are they worth it ? anyone have a few and can tell me if they pays up or they just a waste and i should stick with super hornets ? is the medium casualty rate really medium? should i invest in aircraft instead (already have 12) instead ? what time is it to get to L8 advanced airbase ?

my attack density is 51 and defense is 57

if bombers are any good i would love to own a few to bring my attack density higher then my defense

Hey man. I have 59 B-52's and 63 hornets. To date I have lost more hornets then b52's they should have a low casualty rate instead of medium. Total I've lost only 3 hornets and 1 b52 since I started using them. I'd say go for it. The b52 is a good solid unit with nice stats. I buy about 2-3 a day. And 1-2 hornets a day. They are worth it to me. Atleast untill I get my airbase to 8 for the stealth bomber ;)

do you attack a lot and do you have meat shields?

Do about 20 attacks a day on average and yes I do use meat shields.

Haha i keep forgeting its 8 not 10 lol.

But if your able to buy the b52's there not to shabby and pretty cheap compared to other unit in that range.

I don't use them yet as I haven't unlocked them, but they do have a .00637 consumption rate which ranks them #6 of the list of 28 medium units.

what exactly does this mean? your avg. unit atk is 51?

this is the reason i wouldnt buy b-52's at .0064 it isnt worth it when you can buy destroyers for 1.3 mil and a .0017 casualty. if understand this correctly, it means you will lose 3.8 b-52's for every 1 destroyer. basically in the long run the b-52's will effectively cost 3.8 million vs destroyer at 1.3 million

Very good Manbeast!!! Exactly. It is just a premium you pay for the +5 Attack and Strong Against Ground that the B52 has over the destroyer. Not very many people use ground units though.

@ CommandNConquer - what formula are you using to determine your attack and defense density? I've seen it done many ways.

Haven't lost any SH? Or is this just pointing out the B52 is ok in small quantities?

I have some but found they are lost as easily as the Super Hornets. The Stealth Bomber is also only rated as medium so I am not sure it is worth it either.

Well I just remembered a while back someone was asking kinda the same question and someone else posted that the b52 and stealth bombers were medium but did not die off as fast as most mediums. So I went for the b52's first to try it out. I have over 60 now and still have only lost one. But I'm still using my meat shields so.. That does factor in I'm sure amongst everyone else as well. Guess it comes down to what your units brought to battle look like. If the b52 Is the weakest link out of your other units used, then you will probably lose a lot of b52's

I noticed if I keep SH at 550 I don't loose them in numbers. I had 600 and they where dropping like leaves in fall. I let it drop and didn't replace them to see where it stops and around 550 was the number for me. Same goes fo stealth frigate around 300 seems a good number for me.

But I meant the B-52's I knew they are medium rated and expected them to drop fast but unlike Viper fighter at 1.2 million I didn't loose any B-52 and I did lots of attacking during the events. I had 13 Vipers and already lost two. So in my opinion in comparison to Viper B-52 is a good buy. In comparison to SH it is a reasonable purchase as well considering 350 valor doesn't come cheap at my level. I need to do 77 pvp's to get 2000 valor and that is expensive. soon I will know of its casualty rate and share my experience.

I will add some more and see when I see casualties on them I think if you have extra cash it is a good buy.

Very interesting. Please let me know what you find. Much talk about high losses and glitches. I have a pretty balanced unit makeup compared to others who are all SH or greater numbers. I'll have to go back and see of there could be any pattern. Someone else reported this also in the past. But I can't find it.
