' Wrote:The new bomber guns give fighter escorts less of a chance to protect heavy caps.

Have you ever considered.. maybe that wasn't the point of this change? Could it be possible that the developers are going somewhere with this other than what you want to see?

Quote:However, these bombers guns are not fast enough in order to hit gunboats to any great effect. In order to hit a gunboat reliably, you have to get very close to it. This leaves you being a fantastic target for razors, missiles, solaris guns, regular guns, everything a gunboat can throw at you.

That's okay. You already had to be relatively close to SNAC Gunboats any way, never made a difference. Most Gunboat pilots are noobs who think they're flying a fighter with bigger guns any way. I'll just continue shooting at Gunboats while they're trying to turn to face me.

Quote:Gunboat vs bomber balance was already broken in favour of gunboats. Now it is worse.

I would have said it was tipped in the Bombers favour before... Only Gunboat I've ever died to in 4.85 was a haxed Kusari Explorer with Eagle turning. Then again.. most gunboat pilots are complete idiots who think dual missiles are still worth a damn.

Quote:Bomber vs heavy cap balance was already broken in favour of the bomber. Now it is worse.

There is no balance between bombers and heavy capital ships. Bombers destroy capital ships, that is their role. Is a saw mill unbalanced for cutting through logs with no resistance? Cause that's a good metaphor for bombers. I motion we move to attach giant saws to the front of all bombers for 4.86.

Quote:What has this new bomber thing achieved? Nothing.

I would specualte that the developers are weary to change the balance of fighters vs bombers (vs caps) too much at one time. I would think that the Developers have made this change to see how it effects fighter vs bomber combat first before 'nerfing' bombers and buffing fighters in the same version. Doing both could have drastic concequences..
But the developers are now in the position to make the changes you want, before if you buffed fighter guns it would also buff Bombers. Now, it won't.

Get Gunboat Escorts, noob!
