The Strategic bomber is the heavy duty bomber of choice. Why settle for hundreds of little bombs when you can go for one big one instead?

Build the Strategic Bomber Tower (SB tower) in the air tab, and then select a location and call in a bomber once the tower is fully charged. It will take off from headquarters and set off towards the battlefield. It will take at least 30 seconds to arrive, then it will drop off a long fuse neutron bomb, and flee the area. It's configured so that it only damages creeper, but it will stun or nullify anything caught in the center area (shown by the white terrain - it only shows downhill, but everything in the radius regardless of elevation is affected), for a period of time, even if they're friendly.

It takes a lot of energy to activate the bomb, so the bomber can't take off until you give it the required amount of resources. The Tower will list how long it will be until the bomb explodes.

It's expensive, but pretty powerful for the cost. It's worth noting that these bombers are in short supply, and you will only be able to build as many strategic bomber towers as there are bombers in the area (which will be one in most cases).

(Worth noting that it makes quite a blast, but it's only a single bright flash.)
