Good work with bombers,however you do a way better in snubs. You have great positioning and evading moves combined with a quite good guns aim, but you miss a lot with snac may be you haven't adjusted to its "feeling".
I observed the videos- you just does not set "joist traps" to the fighters where your movement makes them to position themselves in joisting so you can straight snac them. Trying to keep up with the fighter turning pattern would end bad if the pilot is good and can out-turn you in fighter- he would sit on your side/back and would pound you till you die- try to fight some really good fighter pilot in bomber and you would get what I mean. Luring them in wider and softer turns with more time for joist where you have superior direct DPS is better tactic.
Also you attack a way more from side angles instead of dead center- so the snac gun is harder to aim. In 4.87 most of your snac kills wont be possible due to smaller snac arc.
On the other side you do great with EMPs, so good that you might also take 2/2 setup in order to do some additional hull damage bonus since you manage to keep the shields down quite easy most of the time- you would loose around 25% shield DPS in 2/2 setup. I saw people with similar fighting style/skill like yours in bombers to kill dodgy fighters like the jitter from the video with 2 energy guns.
I personally have a way too tragic aim for that, but I saw Zapp doing it back in the time when we played Mollys.
Other thing is that bomber snacbox quite nice via back-thrusting- you can allow yourself to take some dmg if you have full or half shield - the return is easy kill if the fighter have 10-20% shield left before the stunt you snac him at point blank. You dodge too much even if the fighter have no shield and you have full shield- the greed is the key to victory vs fighter with snac- let them think that you are nub in dodging and they become greedy to eat your shield and hull then let them feed only a bit in order to become greedy and nail them.
In general such "feeding" with the first 20-30 bots is quite ok in the open 1v1s if not in conn.
