bombers (discussion only)

[ophidian]

In reality, bombers should be needing fighter escorts because bombers deliver heavy power, sacrificing manueverability for punch like firepower.

In our gameworld, as Lancer said, only the Order and Rheinland bombers fit to this role.

I mean, if a BHG, Keeper bomber can outmanuever any VHF and cause deathly pain to small crafts, why do we need small crafts?

Therefore, I guess ALL BOMBERS shall have reduced manuevering abilities, they should have a true role as bombers rather than being a super multi role epic fighters bombers.

A Bomber can kill -> A GB without a cap armor in 2 snac shots, including shield.
A Bomber can kill -> Any VHF except for the very very good pvpers and even they have the chance to get snaced to death.
A Bomber can kill -> any capital craft when grouped with 1-2 other bombers while evading turret fires and escorts.


This is a bit too much. I mean if GB pilots, VHF pilots, Transport pilots, Battleship Captains are afraid of bombers, let us have a bomber server and nuke each other till death.

A good example of bombers being overpowered in general is using the RM Bomber or Sekhmet against another bomber means death. So the "real" bomber gets "pwned" immediately by the "super bomber".
