Bomber balance

[sovereign]

Crazy idea for making bombers rape capships, get totally pwnzord by fighters-

Reduce their top speed to, say, 150, but increase the range on their torpedoes. Make them decently dodgy so they can avoid capship shots as they go in for a pass but not dodgy enough to survive a fighter attack, and decrease their turn speed. Kind of like real bombers, using range to their advantage, while capships use superior firepower, and fighters use speed. Then, we can probably return capships to being the massive moving fortresses they were meant to be, possibly slow their impulse speed down too, and give them decent but not overpowered anti-fighter defenses. None of the old flak turrets, but light guns. Also, adding a few more anti-heavy-capital-ship gunboats and cruisers, with powerful long range forward guns, a sleek forward hitbox but a not so sleek side hitbox, as well as reduced anti-fighter shielding and capabilities. Kind of like submarines.

Just a crazy idea, what do y'all think?
