figured out my problem, with a bit of help from merv.  I mostly fly fighters, now I climb with no problem at 3k feet per minute, sometimes more.  so I thought bombers should easily climb at 1200 to 1500. not accurate.  around 750 feet or so is more doable and faster speed.  you never stop learning in this game.
