Of course a well proportioned attack afterwards is still necessary, but you can do this more cheaply than suiciding tons of insanely expensive horse units, and then let the horse units mop up afterwards.
The scout bomb can not really hurt anyone. The how to guide for scout bombing is several paragraphs long. The how to guide for countering scout bombing is two words long:
