Several patches over the past few weeks have added more anti-turret power to the Elite Truck Bomb.
Here is a summary of the latest stats:
Large HP pool: up to 6,800 HP at max level
Extra DPS: the Elite Truck Bomb deals +50% extra damage against Turret Emplacements and other turret targets, over and above its listed DPS
PLUS, new this week: the Elite Truck Bomb now takes 70% less damage from turret weapon shots (up from 50% previously)
Have you given the Elite Truck Bomb a try yet? Good hunting, Commanders!

The Thunder Run design team has been working on updates to landmines of various types and levels. The goal of this work is to make each landmine upgrade useful and important, with a matching balance of power and cost.
As a first step, the following updates now take effect today:
Mine Production Balance
Production time of Anti-Air Landmines is now 10% faster at all levels.
Mine Defense Upgrades
On the defense side of things:
The Mine Defense stat on blueprint-based units can now be upgraded to Level 6, reducing damage taken from landmines by up to 21%.
More patches are likely in the future as the landmine design work continues.
