The UEF T3 Strategic Bomber, nicknamed the Ambassador, is a UEF unit.

Factional DifferencesEdit

The Ambassador is heavily armored and drops high powered bombs, perfect for hunting Experimental units and surgical strikes on enemy structures. It has little need for anti-air escorts thanks to its tail-mounted Railgun. Despite its slow speed, it is capable of defeating small groups of T1 Interceptors on its own. The ordnance it drops detonates with a distinctive explosion. Unlike Cybran bombers, the Ambassador has no stealth nor cloaking, and unlike the Aeon's strategic bomber, no anti-SAM flares (which were removed in Forged Alliance, although the description remains).

Common use and EffectivenessEdit

The Ambassador can easily overpower players with its small-yield nuke and AA railgun. Even if your enemy has a few AA grids, a squadron of Ambassadors can sweep over and knock out a power grid, potentially shutting down shield generators and unit production, allowing the bombers to go for a second run on the ACU or main factory complex. This further enhances the UEFs ability to knock out players early-game with either superior defense or powerful attacks on an unsuspecting enemy. AA capabilities and high health allow the Ambassador to substitute for T1 interceptors in many situations; while they may lack the extreme firepower of T3 Air Superiority Fighters they are easily capable of defeating most T1 and T2 air units, as well as having enough health to last against and harass airborne experimental units. However, their AA abilities are marginal compared to T2 fighter/bombers and vastly inferior to T3 Air Superiority Fighters.
