While this thread serves no purpose , I wish to kindly turn the attention of the author towards the following thing he should know before making threads like this in order too ... I don't know , attract attention and so forth and so forth.
This entire discussion is held up by nothing more then empty , void and in no way solid evidence. There is nothing to suggest that if bombers are to get nerfed , the entire server will start abusing Capital ships. That is and to this day forward has been - The only line of defense against nerfing this particular ship type.
While you may not believe that there are people who use Battleships for something other then shoot stuff around with large cannons , you should know that plausible escorts can't , in no way , protect their leader , be that a battleship or a battle cruiser , before 2-3 bombers destroy it and flee.
The escort part is really getting old , find another excuse.
