Welcome to <<Bomber fighting; Basics>>
I will be your professor today since your old one just finished his life's adventure.
My name is... Oi! Stop talking in the last row! *takes a piece of chalk and throws it on the ones in the last row* ...James Hobart.
Now open your books at page three. <<Basics of bomber versus bomber fighting.>>
*turns off the light and turns on the projector*

This first image shows us Challenger, the newest model of Bretonian bomber, and the only one in the mass production. As you can see, we are lucky to have the biggest shipe engineers were able to construct. Another bad side of this "duck" is that SNAC is positioned way at the side of the ship, severely reducing your chance of hitting "vermins".
Dispite all that, Challenger is still powerfull, and it has a large power plant, which is able to fire a second SN before your opponent's shield is back up from the first one. Although, you must be very quick and skilled to do that.

Bomber versus bomber, 1on1.
In that fight, the function of regular guns is only lowering your opponent's shield because every bomber has a great number of <<nano monsters>> which will fix your ship many times, and taking in consideration armor of every bomber, you have to shoot it a lot before it burns down.
Meanwhile, even a blind granny would hit you with a SN. In this tiype of a fight, the SN is your primary weapon, and you must spend a few hours in the simulator, to perfect your aim with it.

So, the SNAC on the Challenger is placed on it's wing, which makes aiming small ships difficult.
First you must check what side is your SNAC on. Lets say it's on starboard. The target is approaching your left side, so the aim difficulty is increased due to it's distance from the target. On the other side, if the target approaches your right side(where the SNAC is placed) the aiming is simplified. Never fire SNAC on distance greater then 400 meters, because it is not particulary fast weapon.
When your target is not flying on your right side(where your SNAC is) try to get it on your right side by strafingto the left.
