ADMIN NOTICE: 3 deaths rule

[Dab]

Sonja, thats my point. Either the bomber goes straight and hits for a ton of damage, while eating guns from fighters, or they dodge a ton and do only about half the damage, and only lose a bit of hull. Either way, the fighters do their jobs.

@Hylden; It doesn't matter if the Yamato couldn't go 3D while the planes could. The planes in that period were slow and not as agile as the fighters in Freelancer are compared to the battle ships. The BS might be able to go up and down, but its slow and takes a full minute to do a 180. Battleships should be weak to small fighters. Heck, this is what we had drilled into us throughout the entire SP campaign. A group of small agile craft can, with time, defeat a much larger force of larger ships.

The RH Bomber is about as half as agile as the Taiiden and because of this, it needs more bots/batts. I've had no trouble keeping bombers off my team's capships in engagements. They either die fast or they take so much time keeping me from killing them, that they inflict half or less the damage they otherwise would.
