Why do we need bombers?

Can't cargo aircraft just drop bombs out of their cargo bays?

Why do we need guns?

Can't we just set off firecrackers and shot in plumbing pipes?

If you have a hypersonic cargo plane.
Or it's a fucking 747.
KC-130J etc is doing its thing in low-intensity.
Not unimaginable to drop a daisy cutter from anything when bullets aren't flying around

Was pretty spectacular to see them explode. Only saw them from the air though

yeah you can
it just sucks

>Mangels einer ausreichenden Zahl von Bombern setzte die Luftwaffe auch Transportflugzeuge vom Typ Junkers Ju-52 ein - die Brandbomben wurden ungezielt mit Kohlenschaufeln über Warschau verteilt.
In case you can't read German:
>be '39
>Luftwaffe wants to bomb Warsaw because muh Lebensraum or whatever
>have like a grand total of 20 bomber aircraft availiable
>but hey we got loads of Ju52 transport aircraft
>the Junkers has this handy loading door on the side
>idea.exe
>load the Ju52 with incindiary bombs
>also load two poor fucks from the wehrmacht into the rear
>hand them a shovel
>have them just chuck them out the side when over Warsaw
>Warsaw burns down
>ggwp

tl;dr its ludicrously inaccurate, not exactly safe for the crew, and looks pretty darn stupid

also transport aircraft are waaay slower/less armoured/have less defenses/little to no ecm/... than dedicated penetrating bombers.

also, its ineffective. you ever wonder why, when they want to bomb sand people in syria, they either send in carriers or they fly loooooong range from either conus or some other stockpile in centEU? why would they not just, like, start from a closer place?
its because when you want to use bombs, you ship them in either by ship or by train, anything else (cargo plane, or maybe trucks? hahaha nope) is just impractical as fuck, because them bombs are heavy.

Anon, you cant hide. From us maybe, but not your own shame.

Just admit you were stupid, and we will respect you for it. This is your chance, to be a better man.
