Bombers vs. VHFs

[frozen]

anyone whos fought me in a bomber knows that my guns are mostly placeholders, just to fill in the slots, and to be used as distractions. what then?

also, might i point out, a fighter pilot can -easily- down a bomber pilot if he knows what hes doing. however, there are always exceptions, and since freelancer is directed heavily by skill, the exceptions are obvious.

in simpler words, balancing bombers is going to be hard without changing them too drastically, and with the release of 4.85 coming nearer and nearer, and with the vast amount of other changes that have been made, i dont know if much can be done (or rather, will be done) now. not everything is supposed to 'imitate' stuff in real life, and freelancer is a -very- clear example of that. however, maybe this idea could be tried for 4.86 (after all, its the big man who decides in the end anyway)

EDIT: i disagree. bombers are powerful against everything, but they -can-, AND -are- countered. hell, people say 3 bombers = death of a battleship. not entirely true, if the bs pilot knows how to use his ship properly. a sngle bs, with the current guns, can -easily- down a bomber.

lone caps -will- get raped by bombers. an all cap fleet with no fighter support -will- get raped by bombers.

EDIT (x2): also, alot of changes have been done/integrated into the new version. wait for that mod to be released for the public.
