The new bomber (battle ship replacement) unit's range is 3. Thats 1+ higher than the battleship. It should stay 2 like the battleship because this basically makes the bomber a big upgrade of the catapult (with more health, movement and defense). Battleships are already massively used in the base game in comparison of the catapult but this update makes the catapult a bad choice in any map that has a decent amount of water (basically every map type except for dryland). You could say that the bomber is more expensive but it was that as the battleship and it still was a better option for its price.
