Bomber Balance

[mjolnir]

Mjol misses out that all of these turning figures of 48k bombers are equal, or close to the larger VHF's in the mod, the templar, the titan and so forth, and you know all that lovely armour? it means jack **** when it eats a 130k SN. In experienced pilots cases, a long time wasted trying over and over to out turn the bomber. Hoping someone else comes along to 2-1 the bomber is NOT BALANCED.

1. Templar "dodges" much better than any bomber, actually much better than half of the VHFs in the mod and yes it is in the numbers.


2. How many fights with Kusari bombers did you had in 4.85?

It's not just the cat even, the Falcata and other such bombers are an absolute pain in the arse to fight as a VHF, sure you can SN them in a bomber with their.. largeness, but that means nothing to faithful VHF whores.

I'm sure though, that the new 48k bombers are easily handled in group fighter combat, maybe they'll outperform unfairly against caps, but meh..

however for small scale combat, i think that the current state of agile bombers is unacceptable.

Maybe I should point you towards similar thread that was here about 1.5 week ago?

I posted right there at the same time that I believe bombers should get lower class guns. Same discussion happened on the dev forum and general consensus (which was against my own opinion) was to check how it woks in new version first (at least first beta). Also due to auto updater we will be able to change it later.

Again I don't believe there were enough fights in 4.85 to say much about this.
