ADMIN NOTICE: 3 deaths rule

[Sonja]

I fly a Taiidan bomber, and it is pretty balanced. True, fighters are, I consider, easier than they should be to take down in bombers, but i also know that a gunboat can take down any bomber one on one. The key is, most likely missiles. They have good tracking, and bombers have a hard time dodging them. The loadout on the TBH gunboats has been mostly standardised to what the Mantis gunboat uses which is a combination of missile spam and standard gun power. I have seen the results of this. Bombers have enough regens to have full hull, but they end up with no weapons. Not exactly great for the bombers.

Also, a battleship shouldn't have a chance against 5 bombers...To think that they should is ridiculous...BUT fighters should be more effective. Again though, its all about strafe. If you change direction just before you get within 100 m of the bomber pilot using strafe, chances are you wont get hit by novas. But the best way to avoid them is to never face a bomber pilot head on.

Oh, and the Taiidan has 80 botts and batts. Dont know about the Rhineland one though, haven't flown one yet.
