How to make a bomber squadron bomb a wide area

[Deceitful Sloth]

I have seen several youtube videos where a group of bombers is used across a wide area. This is done by creating 2 lines of bomber targets somehow which bombers fly between. I can find no information on how to do this. All help is appreciated.

When telling bombers to attack hold left click, then let go at the end point to make a line

Selevt a number of bombers. Press and hold the "G" key while you drag a line. THe units will spread out to bomb in formation perpendicular to the line you draw for them.

What would be the reason to do this, i wonder.

To avoid wasting bombs on locations with no creeper. If all the bombers target the same location, the first few bombs will clear out the area (unless there is a large amount of creeper), but a lot of the other bombs will do little to no damage to the creeper because they will be hitting already bombed out areas.

Nvm, i most likely got confused with unit naming, both Energy and AC being bombers in CW4. Energy bombing in group formation make some sense.
