I've downed numerous fighters with my B25 and find it easier to defend against enemy overall. As you are banned for 5min after 3 deaths, ppl are a bit scared of the defensive guns of the bombers.
I've seen quite a few formations too, most of the players who fly on WoE are in a WoE squadron and tend to fly together in formations.
Join up if you feel like it. The doors open.
Oh and yes, bombers can win, the bombers are the ONES that win the maps. Most maps have loads of tanks and bomber is the fastest way to knock them out.
