Bomber Turrets

[Primitive]

This is ridiculously backwards, don't listen to this guy. SNACs are very inefficient against shields and should never ever be used against shields of anything below a gunboat.

H/E: Hull damage per point of energy
S/E: Shield damage per point of energy

EMP: H/E 0.41, S/E 4.05
Energy: H/E 5.55, S/E 2.78
SNAC: H/E 4.44, S/E 2.22

If you're trying to use guns on the hull of anything but an unarmed transport in a Waran, you're going to get yourself killed, because it's so big and easy to hit. Using the SNAC to bust the hull, you'll be able to spend most of your time dodging.

Yes, technically you can do more hull dps with 4x energy cannons in the steady state than SNACs (13042 versus 10430), but the extra 2500 only comes if you're on the target 100% of the time. If you have to dodge or maneuver at all, you'll take a big hit on your damage if you're using energy cannons, and not that big of a hit if you're using SNACs.

Yes true, emp + snac is best combination, but since he wasn't in game with bomber for some time, not sure how useful would be to have snac only for hull damage. (also ye, my mistake on snacing the shield, but he can drop trans shield with energy guns without much problems, especially in waran which has heavy core). Then of course, snac him and finish him with energy guns.
