bomber balance

[Guest]

Is sekhmet-s ( Order bomber ) power core reduced?

No, the bomber guns use a lot more energy now

Nobody will ever be happy unless the Fighter and Bomber change massivly.

Bombers can no longer use:
-Fighter guns
-Fighter missiles
-mini razors
-infernos
-starkillers
-sunslayers

Bombers now have their own, unique class-6 guns (available only to bombers), which:
-Have ridiculous damage output (three times that of the best fighter guns)
-Have higher range than fighter guns
-Are limited to around 300-400 projectile speed
-Take a ton of energy to fire



Overall, the changes make bombers better in jousts, but less effective against any smart fighter pilots. What annoys me is the fact that I could barely hit BH gunships and other small gunboats before with my 700m/s guns, now my bomber wont be able to hit them at all.

WHoa! I wonder if this actually is a boost for bombers. Since people were pretty good at aiming those SNACs so giving them SNAC-like normal guns might not going to help at all... Besides 3 bombers are going to be devastating against anything, since the volume of fire makes sure you are going to get hit no matter what you are trying.


But like you said. It was dumb and deadly to joust the bomber before and it seems more so now. Deflection shooting for the win here!


Question: Do I need to re-buy the bomber guns or what? Any grace period?

As a SN whore I approve of these changes :3

And yes, you need to rebuy the guns only, the SN and novas and CDs are there to stay.

What looqas said. What nobody seems to realize is that these bomber guns, despite being slow, still move faster than a SNAC and have a 4.00 refire.

If people SNAC train already than I don't want to know what the hell they'll manage to do with these. Besides, as stated earlier, if there are more than two bombers you're screwed anyway due simply the the hail of fire.

Before the update I could eat two decent bombers with my fighter alone. Let's see how it is once people start realizing how to use these guns.

[Weedalot]

Nothing stays the same, adapt.

correct, every update is the same.

Fighters will complain because a brick flew through their window and sucked their crew out into space.
