Advanced Bomber plus Divide the Defense is an awfully deadly combo. If you bring 4 of these and an Emily, then you have 7 turns’ worth of Divide the Defense, and then you also make almost every fighter roll one less die.

vs. Essex-class with an Atlanta, Corsair defending = 3 shots at 8/no 4s and 1 shot at 8, which yields 1.8 aborts. Then you drop your bombs or torpedoes and repeat.
For comparison, flying any escorted bombers into the same defense formation gives you 2.4 aborts.

Yes, Ju-88 also has Bomb 8 and 1 torpedoes, it doesn’t have Armor 5 and it doesn’t punish non-interceptors.

If you have four of them you can bring DtD on turns 1, 2, 4, and 6.

Got to admit guys, I absolutely hate Advanced Bomber.  Its an SA that seems almost deliberately designed to jam US fighters (none of the 8+ AA versions have interceptor), which it's history doesn't justify.  

We could also up the bomb value on a kamikaze SA. It’s certainly got more mass and more fuel than a carrier plane.

Anyway, I am coming around to EE and Kamikaze Attack as the only two SAs it needs. The bomb value of 8 differentiates it from the Peggy plus giving it a Kamikaze "turbo boost" bomb attack recognizes its very late war introduction.

Kamikaze Attack - This unit can make a 10 dice Bomb attack instead of a Torpedo attack during your Air Attack phase. Destroy this unit after the attack

I am not in favor at all of giving this aircraft Divide the Defense. By all accounts it was not as good as the Peggy and late to development on top of that.

I don't think it needs DtD, and Kamikaze attack is so situational. In all the times I've flown the Jill, I think I've used that exactly ONCE.

The Harass from a Distance is a nice nod to the long-ranged Japanese torpedo attacks. EE is fine if that's where we want to go.

What about ASW?
