bomber scatterguns currently shit on the average and above-average fighter pilot attempting to duel bombers that are either hard to hit (pancakes, flying wings) or are just small in general. theyre the equivalent of a shotgun in first person shooters, useless past point blank, and will annihilate anyone trying to pass, joust, or box a bomber
i say just leave it where it is, while tweaking the existing bomber weaponry. In fact I might do some lazy man balancing later
