Right. About cap ships missiles (specially in gunboats). Two bombers should easily take out a single LH gunship, right?
I completely unarmed two bombers with supernovas using missile turrets while not even using all batts/botts. And that's when 4 of my missile launchers are the "basic" class.
They are effective. Very effective. The only time i have had problems was against 5 fighters, and only because some had minirazors and they were too many to reduce them in an acceptable time. But anyway, a gunboat against 5 fighters should be difficult.
