The bombers themselves can be controlled by the player, but their maneuverability is very limited. One should choose a target as soon as possible for the best shot. The player can also fire at will and can switch to first person for an accurate view of what the player is going to bomb. Once the bombing is triggered, all things in the middle and surroundings of the affected area will most likely be obliterated. Trees, in particular, have their branches bent upwards and appear completely burnt.

The bombers can pack a punch, but they're very vulnerable to fire from [[40mm Bofors|AA guns]] and fighters, especially since they're big targets and are very slow. The raid can still be triggered as long as a single bomber survives, but the raid's performance will be significantly diminished, as that one bomber will not do as much damage as two or three.

The Air Raid Bunker is an invulnerable concrete building or trailer that is used to call in bombing runs in Battlefield 1943 and Battlefield 4.

Battlefield 1943[]

The Air Raid Bunker can be found on every map except Coral Sea. It can be found on the "Airfield" flags of Wake Island and Iwo Jima, and the "Outpost" flag of Guadalcanal.

It can be used as soon as any team has captured its flag location. Throughout the match, any player from either faction can activate the air raid. Once inside the bunker, the player is completely invulnerable and remains so until the bombing run is over. It will "recharge" for another use within a few minutes.

The bunker allows players to take control of a bomber squadron, consisting of either the Mitsubishi G4M Betty or B-25 Mitchell, depending on team.

Battlefield 4[]

BF1 Puzzle Piece This section is a stub. It is short and in need of fortification. Why not improve this section?

The Air Raid Bunker appears in the Battlefield 4: China Rising expansion pack. Similar to Battlefield 1943, the control point containing the bunker must be held by either team in order to call in a bomber, but the bunker can be used by any player from either team. It allows a player to control the Bomber and designate areas on the map for JDAM strikes.

Final Stand[]

In the expansion pack Battlefield 4: Final Stand, the Air Raid Bunker appears only on the map Operation Whiteout. Unlike other maps, it takes the form of a surfaced submarine frozen in the ice. It can be entered by a hatch on the top of the submarine.

Trivia[]

Battlefield 4[]

  • For about five seconds after an enemy first enters the bunker, the player may kill him (and prevent the air raid) by firing the Defibrillator at the door. This is the only occasion on which a player in the bunker may be killed.
