What counts as a 'bomber' in strike?

I always take a fighter, and it does help the team to win.
I normally coordinate what to do with ancient seraph, he normally takes the B-17 if the enemy has one. Now, easy example, if it is 2vs2. Me in a 109 G-6 and teammate in a B-17, vs a B-17 and an blenheim. As long as I keep shooting down the B-17, we will win, since the teammate B-17 will score much more then the enemy blenheim.
If I had also taken a bomber, It would have been a much closer game, bacause then it is all about hitting the targets better then the opponent.

Now I just keep the B-17 out of the sky, ensuring victory

EDIT: when 'mission completed' comes up, it is counted as a win (so being in the winning team in enough). And as far as I know, all planes that appear as a triagle on the map (bombers, Il-2, JU etc), are counted as bomber
