If you played CoW for some time you may have noticed that strategic bombers aren't even used (unless we are talking about noobs that don't really know what they are doing) by experienced players
I think with the current atributes strategic bombers are somewhat useless, or at least the cost/benefit of developing them is quite bad compared with other aircraft.
From my point of view the biggest issue is that their range is quite limited for their purpose, with these planes you are aiming to cause damage to economic targets ir unit facilites, wich are mainly at the core of your enemy.
In the early or middle game there's no point of making them because you need to make fighters and tactical bombers, and in the late game countries are so big that you have enough range to attack only when you have advanced through enemy territory and can build an airfield closer, wich usually means that you already won and you don't need a strategic advantage (by causing economic damage or destroying unit facilites)
Without making a huge buff (like giving them +5000km range like bombers had back then), like a 30-50% range increment, players would be more interested in this kind of unit and exploring other tactics
