At least, that's what I've learned from all the fighter swarm & BS vs bomber swarm fights I've been in.
I tend to drain bombers pretty damn quickly with 5.88's, myself. Especially with these new fighter missiles which I refuse to use. Eat bombers for breakfast.
Easier said than done, if there's 4-5 bombers bearing down on caps there's no way in hell fighter support will save them.
I think that bomber SNACs should be nerfed/removed, and that their primary method of attacking capital ships should be actual torpedos and bombs, you know, like an actual bomber should do.
