Fighters shouldn't do high damage to Heavier Ships. I mean how the hell fighter guns penetrate BS armor and doing same damage to any class ship.

Medium Bombers should have 5 guns. Heavy Bombers must have 3 torp slots.

Bombers are meant to be anti-cap targets. But against gunboat they fail terribly because of their horrible agility and slightly smaller size.
A pair of bombers should be able to take down a gunboat but that is not the case in most scenarios. Either nerf gunboats or make bombers more effective against them.

ha! I made a post here and COMPLETELY forgot about ASURAs, again.
ASURAs are seriously good against heavier things. A bomber that can fire an EMP torp (that can actually deshield a Gunboat in one hit!) followed by a SNAC is actually pretty deadly. Since their introduction they've given me issues when I TS.
IMO, what Bombers need are more variation in their torpedos and guns.

Thing about GBs is they are meant to be anti-snub platforms and bombers are snubs

I am just gonna say that there needs to be a stronger correlation between what the bomber can mount and what it is labeled as. There are bombers like the ... I guess cutlas... That have standard light bomber setup but to me it feels heavy and fat... I dont know might be just me but the waran does better work for me than the cutlas does... Anyone else feeling me? Maybe im just weird.

Actually my feeling is quite otherwise... (look up: Char's post). But yes, they are very first target in the engagement AND that's the reason why sole bomber squad in the fight is top retard thing - unless its covered.
Actually, to put my two pennies into talk, we do not have class that would mirror something like B-17, a true heavy bombers. For now, these aren't even bombers - they are assault fighters or fighter-bombers according to the military nomenclature.
I think we could introduce something like a very heavy bomber, being something between bomber and gunboat. What about that?

imo there isn't enough bomber guns

Bombers are fine as they are for me. If they're used properly, they can be very dangerous to almost every type of ships. I saw many bomber pilots, who were killing even some snubs on their own. And they have to be less effective against some vessels just for balance. If you create one vessel which can counter many vessels itself, it will crush the gameplay. You have to choose different strategies against snubs, gunboats and capitals if you want to kill them. So, as I've told in the beginning, they're fine as they are.
