8th US used to be one of the best decks in the game for ages and has been progressively nerfed into irrelevance.
The US in general is probably the weakest NATO faction right now in that their only remotely good divisions are the DLC ones. All of the base game divisions suffer from overpriced, underperforming kit and just plain being powercrept. This is probably on purpose, because the US has the largest variety of possible divisions to add as DLC, and DLC almost always needs powercreep to sell.
France has 5e, which remains probably the best deck in the game
UK has 2nd inf, which basically has among the strongest forward deployment in the game followed by a kitchen sink of every good thing airborne decks aren't supposed to have
Germany has 2nd Pzgren, which literally does everything and then has like 6 cards of the most cost-effective infantry in the game on top of it
Even the dutch have their top-tier div, which is probably the only viable NATO heavy division right now.
Every US division has been nerfed out of the meta at one point or another and then just left there to rot

It's a high-altitude bomber.
Most good bombers dive in to drop their ordinance, so it lands immediately and all the bombs are concentrated in a small area to maximize effect. The bad bombers don't do this, and just carpet-bomb a straight line, spreading out their bombs which take something like 11 seconds to actually reach the ground. This is why they do no fucking damage despite the large payload on paper, and the large payload is actually a detriment because reload time scales with amount of bombs. There is literally no advantage to high alt bombing and in practice they get hit more often because the dive motion helps to break missile tracking. There's also nothing on the stat card that indicates whether a bomber drops at high altitude or dives, and even among the dive bombers there are a bunch of variations on how low they dive to release.
