I think there are more bomber pilots than people realize. The issue since clod's release has been the bomber issues more so with the german ju-88 and he-111 than the Blenheim. There were some large organized bomber squadrons in Il-2 and dedicated bomber types are probably still there. I only came over to clod given the bf-110 could be used for ground pounding with escort.
After reading the threads on the bomber bugs being brought to the devs attention we may actually get better / correctly working bombers soon I would hope, and that in turn will bring more bomber pilots over from IL-2 who have most likely shelved clod for now. Though after reading up on the work arounds for accurate bombing it does seem possible in its current state.
I personally have no turn and burn fighter skills even with track ir. (Hence in real life not all pilots are the same.) I have always enjoyed bombers/navigation and ground pounding/close air support and I am decent at BnZ. I also fly DCS KA-50 and A-10 CAS/SEAD but was not really into Falcon 4. Heck B17 II The Mighty 8th is still one of my favorites. I even fly the FSX A2A B17 on historical bomb runs for fun.
Now that I have a decent connection again and the new patch due out I will give the Bf-110 another roll, but alas when my wingman peels off for a furball with some spitfires I know MY lifespan is reduced to mere seconds, lol.
My fingers are stuck in the crossed postition waiting for correctly working bombers
