What is in your opinion the best Bomber/Gunboat? Vote

[ivr56]

Heres my two cents

Gunboats:
M26 Corsair 'Lunchbox' Gunboat

Great ship.
Its handling and size may suck but with 8 guns , a load of armor and being one of the most balanced ships of its class. All around great ship.
Great anti cap ship with the proper load out.
Great for pirating too.

Bombers:
RM 'Subnose' Bomber
I own two of these babies.
Great size, 5 forward guns. With 4 L10s and 1 froward 180 level 5 turret.
Great power plant
Great agility
All around just great.

Blood Dragon Catamaran bomber, small, agile good powerplant.
Bounty Hunter Gunship, small, agile, all weapons fire foward.

I don't know why people are nominating the Nomad bomber, one can not use it on the server.

Unless you are a Keeper/Das Wilde.

Both catamaran's look terrible, however they are getting overly whored at the moment. (I cannot wait for them to be re-balanced.)

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

I agree with you on all points.

THe Scorpion GB is the best in the game. Agile, has 8 forward firing guns.

THe Catamarans... I laughed when I saw them for the first time. Looks like someone took a Chimera and slapped a canoe on either side. Oh, an it definitely needs a rebalance...

I have to say, Rogue GB and Scorpion are quite nice if you know what you're doing (and remember to turn your cerbs on >.<). BH GS is easily the best one with a forward gun, but it has that little disadvantage of being able to mount fighter armor or Cap VIII and nothing in between.

As for bombers, I like my Thor... for some reason I do better in Thor vs caps than Snub vs caps. Stop staring, it's true! It just feels better when I fly it, despite the obvious advantages of the Snub. Even with that ridiculous hitbox.


Oh yeah, Wild don't fly Nomad Bombers... we use the Wrath, Snubnose, and Scorpion exclusively. Before you say "ZOMG PVP WHORES" we can't buy ammo... we need to kill people for their mines...

Scorpion gunboat is the best in the game. It has 8 guns, while being quite fast (almost as fast as the light ones, IMG and Rogue, a lot faster than the 'sair one). I have tested it with some friends and it can really out turn slow GB's, while being able to shred fast GB's to pieces. Also, it's cross-section along the Y axis reveals its not such a big target as the Corsair one, and it's able to dodge fire more effectively when circling capital ships.

The best bomer... I am in a tie between the Catamaran and the Snubnose.

The Catamaran has supposedly a small size, the small bomber powerplant, and very limited armor. But what's the matter if they can't hit you, right?

The Snubnose... Interesting ship... Due to Rheinland factions having a bad name when dealing with indie military (I have no firsthand experience, just what i have seen while lurking) and due to the fact Rheinland is dead most of the time (traders usually and the occasional BH farming Wilde) it's a ship that has not been in the spotlight alot.

Well, the Snubnose is a very very good ship (if one of the best anti-cap bombers). It has a relatively small size almost comparable to the Catamarans, while having good armor, the large bomber powerplant and decent agility. And 5 guns. It's not on the slow side of things either, it's manouverability is decent. The only dealbreaker is the non-fitting hitbox. I extends infront of the cockpit alot.
