I would like to ask to re-view thor once more. That bomber is very very easy to hit and total mini razor magnet. I fully understand that it is heavy bomber and has 5 forward guns, but rhienland bomber (lawful counterpart of it) is much much much much.. way to much better than it, carring quite the same firepower while being a pain to hit even with natters sometimes.
For my expierences, and from other hessian players who had quite a time using thor struggles in group fightis like they would be using Waran or Barghest size ship. (it's arse it huge!). That's why we have so much falcatas used by hessians.
I do not claim that it definitly needs a boost since hessians already has BW alternative for bombers, but I rather use my own faction tech, than some other. At this moment I'm forced to use falcata to be competative.
