The Stratofortress is a campaign-exclusive support power that used by United States. It can call a Stratofortress bomber to bombard the designated area. It is the predecessor of the Harbinger, an aircraft the Americans could not finish, until the Foehn Revolt did.

Appearances

“	This situation calls for the deployment of our Stratofortress. It might not be enough to destroy the Amplifier, but it will definitely deal great damage to the Soviet forces. It is unfortunate we have never finished its successor, but we hope it aids you well.	”
	—Allied intel during Operation: Beautiful Mind

Act One

• In Beautiful Mind, the player will be able to call a Stratofortress bomber periodically after retaking the Allies base.

Challenges

• In the Freedom Challenge, the 3 enemy US AI will constantly use Stratofortress to bombard the challengers' forces.

Behind the scenes

• Prior to the release of version 3.3.6, the Stratofortress was first teased in the video Mental Omega - The Finale Trailer.
  • The trailer shows that the Stratofortress bombs were able to destroy buildings in one bombing run. In-game however, this is not the case, as the Stratofortress bombs' effectiveness against structures is reduced significantly.
  • The trailer also shows more than one Stratofortress. In-game, only one Stratofortress bomber can be summoned at a time.

Trivia

• The icon of the Stratofortress is from the Leaflet drop,and dropping bomb from Carpet bombing, an American special power in Generals - Zero Hour.
• The Stratofortress is based on the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress used by the United States Air Force.
