The SB-83 Night Pheonix is meant only for strategic and carpet bombing at night on high-risk missions. It's considered to be the heavy improvement on the previous SB Pheonix that was made before it. The original was okay, but it's becoming outdated as it can't compete against hostile aircraft. This new version, however, defeats any old problems. This is a list of its new capabilities:

-Can't be seen in the clear night (except for radar, unfortunately)
-Carries twice as many bombs
-Carries missiles with groundbreaking technology
-Moves three times as fast
-Drag is visually not an issue anymore
-It's equipped with Navigation lights
-Equipped with a Bomb Camera
-Better view in the cockpit

Overall, it's a much better aircraft than any of its production line. Here are some more images.
