Well it is somewhat better, can use cruise missiles.

Here's a nice picture of Freedom. Gotta love a bomber that can deliver ordnance anywhere on the planet and be back for dinner the same day.

The Bear is by far the coolest.

B2 the best, though in WG it would cost 1500 and your kidney, so not sure how useful that is. If you can afford it then hey why not.

B1 looks quite sexy, but in general I think we won't see new strategic bombers. Low attack profile is too risky because of Tunguskas and modernized Shilkas (or whatever the equivalent is in the current Russian army) while high attack profile is just asking for a ultra long range SAM up your backside. You will only ever see them used in situations of total dominance over a low tech opponent. Don't think anyone is willing to spend billions on developing successors to these bombers.

The issue with the B2 fleet is the profilation of UHF/VHF radars which counters their primary advantage (high end stealth). That said, in strategic role they would be using cruise missiles anyway.
