Do Bombers suck as much as I think they do?

[mjolnir]

As for attacking a cap ship + GB with 3 bombers and 2 fighters...
that is totally different than 3 fighters and one bomber.
Now imagine that there were only 2 of your faction were on line like your attackers.
And your faction wasnt allowed anything bigger than a GB.
Do you think It would have been a fair fight then?

I think so... when 2 bombers are on and there comes an enemy with caps and no fighters (or just 1). The bombers can take quite big numbers....

Maybe you should check the "Omg they lost a lot of money" report by Razr in the RM dump. Apart from being funny... Dboy and Razr killed 3 Osiris + 2Gunboats...more times :) It was in 4.83 yes.. but the RH bomber got more agility and the Supernova damage/s is better than double Novas I think.

More caps simply cannot support each other against bombers.... they run into each others line of fire.. crash.. and all that... or if they choose to sit like weapons platforms... nice then you can actually move the mouse on one side to turn in circles and every time the cap crosses your view you hit the Supernova button :)

Number of BS/Cruisers that can support each other effectively would be max 2.
In BS/GB combination the BS simply cannot support the GBs unless they sit still... which is not a clever thing to do against bombers.
Only combination where this doesn't work are multiple gunboats... there the limit maybe as high as 4.

But you are right that bombers work in groups - so at least two of them or bomber + fighter. Taking a single gb/cruiser in a lone bomber is quite difficult.
