Average bomber vs a Good VHF

[frozen]

Isn't that the whole point? Why should 3/4 of all the bombers be so boldly squaring off with all fighters and winning? Apart from the BHer bombers (god those things are huge) it's actually quite easy for me to do a bombing run on a capship or even other fighters. If you want I can upload a vid of me battling a few creeps in cali and that was from 2 weeks of playing after not being in the action for like 8 months.

that is a suggestion to make bombers further specialized to become anti cap instead of having any chance of being anti fighter/bomber.

if you give them slow guns, they cannot deshield a dodging fighter, but can hit capital ships with sufficient ease.
if you restrict the razor and inferno to fighter only, the bombers have lost their ability to 1 shot the fighter shields, a further restriction to allowing them to fight fighters.
if you restrict them by giving them custom guns and thus restricting their gun slots so that they cannot mount missiles, they cannot use paralysers, cannonballs, sidewinders or firestalkers against fighters/bombers, which is another reason to make them more specialized as anti cap.

EDIT: and yes, vilkas is correct. the reason people die in fighters against bomber is because they fly straight into the bomber's supernova shot without shields and without dodging, and then they make whining posts that bombers should be nerfed.
