Bomber Balance

[Dab]

Since I can just about keep up with (but not out turn) an old cat with an old titan, maybe your GC HF was broken? By that, I mean that we had about the same turn rates, but the cat had slightly slower response times. If the GC HF is meant to turn like the Eagle does, then you should easily be able to outmaneuvre even the fastest bombers on the market.

My main concern with the GC bomber would be its size. Maybe the new catamaran needs another nerf.

GC is Bigger, Slower, and has 15,700 armor opposed to the Ku Bomber's 16,800.. GC infocard even says it sacrifices some (some) agility for armor, but it doesn't get that.. Its inferior in every way to ever other bomber I've seen so far.. It has -the- lowest armor.. Its slow.. Its HUGE. Its like a Barghest. GC Bomber is severely gimped.

About the GC HF.. I don't know how it compares to Eagle, as I've not fought one yet, but it doesn't feel like it turns as fast as an Eagle. Not even close really. And I was definitely not outturning him. I was having trouble staying on his tail when he was chasing the GC Bomber.

The Nova would have tracking abilities, and have a much greater range, but could be shot down before it reached it's target (hopefully it would be made so that it wouldn't be destroyed by a randomly fired CD).
Or, here's another idea: Since the new Catamarans have a long tube-like thing that is supposed to fire the torpedo, why not just make it so that ship's torpedoes had no firing arc? That way you have to actually aim the entire ship at the object you want destroyed, making it much harder to down fighters.

This idea actually sounds very good. However, we'd need a slight increase to the strafing ability of bombers so they aren't raped everytime they try to line up a shot.
