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.

Air raid

A bombing run as seen in Battlefield 1943

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

Bunker

The bunker itself can be found on every map except Coral Sea (since there is nearly no infantry based combat). It can be found on the "Airfield" flags of Wake Island and Iwo Jima and the "Outpost" flag of Guadalcanal.

It can only be used as soon as any team has captured it. From there, any player from either faction can activate the air raid.

A player inside the bunker is completely invulnerable and is so until the bombing run has been used. Often, enemy players tend to

wait for an enemy player to come out of the bunker to get a kill.

Bombers

Also see Mitsubishi G4M Betty and B-25 Mitchell

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 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.

If the player is on the USMC, B-25 Mitchells will be sent whilst if the player is on the IJN, Mitsubishi G4M Betties will be sent. Their only difference is their appearance.
