The Bomber Class - Opinion: Bombers are just too bad atm

[Char Aznable]

My experience with bombers is different from yours.

Yes, they're the first targets in a groupfight, because they have large damage possibilities while (in comparison to larger classes) being still able to dodge.

As with all snub-sized ships, Bombers are meant to fight in groups, not on your own, and especially not against fighters or Gunboats (fighters being, well, fighters, and GBs being technically thought as the flanking ships for larger caps, covering them from the bombers)

As for ingame represantation: Have you ever seen a pack of Umibozus killing a Valor? Yes, it takes long, but it's damn satisfying. Same with cruisers. Caps have literally no defense against a good team of 3-5 bombers. Gunboats more, but they're made for defending against small ships.

Buffing the range of the SNAC would be appreciated though, and the range of the Bomber Guns could be buffed as well. Both is not a pressing issue, though.

Not really, Bombers are still snubs and should be able to take out other snubs, if the bomber is skilled enough. but making a Fighter not capable of killing other ships of his own class is just wrong.

So tell me why a B-17 should be able to stand a chance in a dogfight against a FW-190? Light bombers, you say, sure, but they're pretty decent in fending off snubs. Not good at it, but if you focus, you at least stand a fighting chance.
