bombers (discussion only)

[Chico]

Er...I kinda agree with X-Lancer :$

Bombers are an extremely difficult target for a fighter in the right hands. Someone said earlier that you should hit them with a razor.
I'm an average to poor fighter pilot and I mount a Hornet CD (cheapskate) but why should I need a razor?
Why can't my guns do the job?
I'm in a fighter afterall. The very ship designed to stop bombers.
Why do I have to use the fighters equivalent of a SNAC, which was designed as an anti-capital weapon to bring down a small ship?
Bringing escorts should mean something. Make bombers less agile, a little less hull and give cruisers better flak abilities (but not battleships. Battleships should be cap/station killers).
Incidentally, when a bomber is taken to a small ship combat through choice, that should be ringing alarm bells somewhere.
One other thing for the statistic mad among you, some bombers have five forward firing guns and often mount dual razors. That is not an anti-cap set up. Thats a bomber designed to beat fighters and your single razor will have to get very lucky against a ship which turns almost as well as you and has a a similar silhouette.
