I don't concur with granting a bomber the ability of firing 2 SNs instantly. That will make a bomber quite uber, leaving the others obsolete, no matter what you try to do for balancing it.

I am a capwhore, and now i feel i need a fighter escort. Even though im not paying.
It should have HORRIBLE handling and 5 bombers should take down a BS, not 2.
2 gunboats can take down a bs. THAT IS NOT RIGHT.

Trust me, you don't want to bring realism with ship to ship combat into FL. The amount of bombers needed would be larger than some player factions.

The design is indeed very good. Kudos to that Xing , I realy see it fit Rhainland like e glove , BUT there is one thing that I don't realy undertand.
Why does Rhainland get to have that ship ? I mean , all the ships in there ship line are very veryyyy good , they don't need aditional aid from ships like that.
And the twin SP nova idea is not bad , ONLY if RM deny the access to that ship to any non RM players.

I would expect the Kriegsmarine would deny access to their ships to anyone but themselves, so no trouble there.

Ship looks nice, fins are a bit corsairish but hull is clearly Rheinland so fins can merge in RH style... now I would agree to this ship ONLY if each house gets one of this 2x SN firing beasts.. and of course civilian one too... Because imagine what 1 of these can do to a GB and it has thruster to thrust away while shield regenerates back... Way to powerfull....
Infact Kress said it pretty good

Imagine what that thing would do to a gunboat.... wouldn't that insta-fail its shield?
Although, I agree that model is awesome.

allmost - 2 SNs are - i believe around 120.000 damage to the shield ( out of the 140.000 it can take )
anyway - trust igiss in knowing about the overpoweredness of a twin SN. besides - having 4 tubes and a normal ( large ) powerplant is good enough. makes a very flexible bomber indeed. - with 1 SN, 2 nova and 1 train CD, its the dream of all pilots.
you can point damage ( SN ) any capital ship, you can strip them of their equipment ( twin nova ) and CD them. - a bomberpilot would give his both legs for such flexibility and power. - twin SNs is not everything. and 4 tubes with a normal powerplant are great as they are... and wouldn t unbalance everything.

the stats are open to discussion, I wont put myself against anything. As I said, it is merely a concept idea, I'm just the designer, not the weapon expert hehe

I kinda like the ol' snubnose. As far as 2 SN at once, no-go.
