I can imagine how slow the Barghest would be at half turning speed. xD
Transports will out turn it... I think some already do o_O
Fighters are already good at killing bombers, everyone who gets killed just isn't doing it right. You should learn to accept sometimes people are just going to be plain better than you. If I lose to a bomber I know it's cause I made a mistake, or I'm fighting someone really good.
Nerfing skill. Where does that get fun?
IMO we need to make Gunboats beat bombers by making Gunboats stronger. Make Fighters kill Gunboats, but Gunboats kill Bombers. Also make Cruisers and Battleships tear the crap out of Gunboats. Then we'll see something fun.
