The bomber was useful only because it was somewhat universal, while not being particularly good at anything.

Im sorry, but BS and BCrs indeed easier to kill on bombers, because i rarely see that rush cap tactic to which you reffering. Instead, it often mess where 2 fleets trying get better positioning and kill cap which will lose formation. Bombers definitely acting better in this case, because they free to choose target, they are can move from one flank to another in 2 times faster, they dont need to tank all dmg over battle.
Indeed good cap players which make blunt cap solution hard as fuck, make bombers needed for it, disagree on this statement about bs.
*You forgot BCrs, and most of them imo easier to kill in bomber.
Cruisers - here i agree. Small skilled/specialised cruiser for real require 1gb as minimum for keep deshielding, and cruiser will try kill bombers first, cos it giving him more chances than trying chase gb. Bombers really havent good anti shield weaponery to deal with target like cruiser. ASURA involve your group in hard to keep timing, neutralisers wont hit, EMP probably will end with mortar/blaster in face.
GB - yes, it how it happens.
About fighters - your agenda on bomber to kill caps. Do your duty, soldier!
This all more looks like, that you people just want universal class which will fit for small ganks, and being snub. In caps we have cruiser, so this wish legit.
Those who play fleet fights need bomber as one purpose tool. (i really hated this situation when bombers trained snac on fighters, and were absolutely useless against caps, cos it required another flying patterns).
Should bomber be this universal thing, or we can finally turn SHF in a thing?
Edit 1: From my experience, 5 noobs in bombers act better and more effective than 5 noobs in BCrs. Not mention to how much it cheaper and faster to train(just take cap and shoot at them while they trying shoot you till they dont learn how to dodge lol).
Edit 2: About corona...Asura/Snac+Bombs or Snac/Nova+Bombs still way more versale and useful in fleet formations. Need to check. After using scorchers, dont think that range will be problem in fleet fight, but too predictable positioning is.
