B 52s cannot operate with gravity weapons without air superiority. They do have stand off weapons and can hold there own but still....

They are standoff cruise missile trucks with surprisingly good ECM.

Better countermeasures now. And the idea is that air defense systems will have already been neutralized before the BUFFs come in. Stand-off weapons too.
