You can't do anything in Strike without one. Even with 500 lb'ers it takes a LOT of hits to take out a single bunker. Fighter/bombers just can't do it.
Not bad for Capture the Airfield too. Taking the strip with a bombers that's super durable AND gives you a rear gunner to cover yourself to hold the strip is pretty useful. I use an IL-2M for that, but a bomber would be good too. Remember, you have to land and wait to take the strip, so you can be down there a while and in the line of fire. Good idea to stick around in case the other team lands so they can't neutralize it and take it, giving time for a teammate to come take that guy out.
