I play with a guy who loves heavy bombers and always tries to build them. They are quite destablizing when he gets them. What defenses (other than spreading out AA guns) can I use to defend against them?
You could house rule in some Heavy Flak or cap fighters. Or get your own Heavy Bombers.
Bombers in general are overpowered in SBRs under the box rules. If you’re not doing so already, I suggest you play using the Larry Harris Tournament Rules.

Yeah, those are the rules for global 40 as well:
Heavy Bombers
Your bombers are now heavy bombers. You roll two dice each on attack or defence and use the
better result of the two dice. On a strategic bombing raid, roll two dice, take the better result, and
add “1” to that result to determine the damage done by that Heavy Bomber.
In my group we generally skip the tech development. To my opinion too it is unbalancing the game for one player. It feels more like a fair fight to play without the tech development.
