"Skyguard ready for sortie!"

-Skyguard bomber ready to fly

Tactical analysis

 * The Flying Fortress: Despite being a rather old bomber. The Skyguard still serves as a reliable strategic bomber, crippling enemy bases with seismic bombs that shake the earth, collapsing buildings with ease


 * Guarding the sky: The Skguard also carries five HMG turrets to protect themselves against enemy airforces as they make their journey. And in the event the plane takes critical damage its crew can stop manning the guns to quickly repair their bomber, even in combat


 * Bullseye on wings: The Skyguard does have its Achilles heel though. Fast moving ground based AA systems can avoid its deadly rain of bombs while dishing out hurt and interceptors can easily bring down these bombers, though their gunners do afford Skyfortresses with a limited degree of protection.


 * Live to die another day: Skyguard are infamously for their ability to resist damage. With veteran crews able to lock down almost any wound the plane might sustain in the air and quickly fix the problems. Alongside bolting on additional armor and gaining the the clearance to use heavier hitting crater bomb and replace their HMG for heavier hitting autocannons with shrapnel rounds

Ace upgrade
Skyguard gains increased armor, repair ability is enhanced, bombs are upgraded, leaving craters that slows units going through it and increasing damage against structures, and HMG turrets are upgraded to autocannons, increasing damage and hitting in an aoe.
