Heavy bomber / light bomber

[Teerin]

The Brigand and Union Corse Bomber shoots 5 forward too ^^

Those are Medium Bombers, though, not Heavy Bombers.

Heavies have 3 Torp/SNAC/CD slots, while lights/mediums have just two. That's the main distinguishing feature for heavies, where lights are small, and mediums are usually bigger light bombers that have 5 forward firing guns. It seems well balanced like that to me ... giving heavy bombers 5 forward firing guns could make medium bombers obsolete.

EDIT: Also, bombers (light, medium, or heavy) shouldn't be balanced primarily based on their combat potential towards other bombers, but instead they should be balanced primarily on their comparative capabilities against transports and warships, with secondary focus on survivability against other strikecraft, then tertiary focus on killing other strikecraft.

Focusing balance primarily upon combat against other strikecraft is for actual fighters, not bombers, after all
