Always a bigger fish?

Point is.
Situation : 1 GB vs 1 Bomber.
GB and bomber are going face to face, bomber takes damage.
Bomber turns faster, GB is turning in ekill, and is on 40% when Bomber is fully turned.
Bomber fires and hits with a CD while GB is on 60% of the turn, and then fire while flying in opposite direction of GB's turning.
Never giving him a chance to even see him.
Believe me, 20 CD's are more then enough for a bomber to take down a GB.
And if you are flying backwards, and he cuts your engine kill, you'r not flying backwards anymore, and he's behind you.
Maybe you just didn't notice all this, or you are an expert in flying a GB.
Fighter can do exactly the same to a Bomber, in 1v1, if it's an agile fighter and a rock of a bomber (like Barghest or Civi).

Also if one bomber takes out a GB I would generaly say that the GB was not flown to well.

This is not really true as well. It works for both sides.
Maybe GB pilot was good, but Bomber pilot was better?
You can't tell. Until you die from a single bomber hand.
GB can be killed even by a fighter, 1v1, but very very hard, and that depends on which GB and fighter are used.

I voted incorrect. Because, you are globalizing.
There are some Cruisers that can take on a Battleship, if they are agile enough.
And Gunboat against Cruiser is not really something you can bet on.
It depends on the pilots again, very much.
I agree that Gunboats are overpowered, and Cruisers still very weak.
But, it all depends. Brettonian gunboat can take on a Cruiser very very hard.
Kusari GB as well.
Corsair GB is something between a GB and Cruiser.
It is very big, and turns slow, but it has 8 guns. It can take down any Cruiser, if flown properly.
But it is a big target for bombers. It is almost impossible to dodge Supernovas in it.
1 GB can take on a Battleship as well, hard, yes, but it's possible.

And difference between GB's, Cruisers and BS's is in weaponry.
Bigger ships can mount bigger weapons (Mortars), and if they hit even once, Gunboat turns to dust.

Further, GB is expected to be flown without escort. It is more like a Patrol vessel, capable for all kinds of situations.
BS shouldn't leave the base without 2 fighters to defend it.
2 fighters can, believe it or not, protect the BS from 2 gunboats.
And it is a lot easier then protecting BS from Bombers.

I had the same frustration that you have now. But it was about Gunships.
I don't know if you'v seen those in the last version, but i doubt it.
Because, in case you did, you should be praising the lord right now for these Gunboats, compared to the previous LH Gunships.

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.
