' Wrote: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.
Dev team will kill me but ...
TESTED !
And believe me, VHF vs bomber didn't changed at all, it's even worst.
Worst of all are the gunships (BHG one mostly), they became nearly invulnerable.
We made then high range also to allow counter of solaris, but an osiris can dodge it easily. Such guns are pain in ass for cap killing and don't change at all VHF vs bomber fights.
