Barghest. Four EMP guns, two energy turrets, SNAC, TCD, and Nova. Things explode.
Barghest is a weirdo so you can't compare it to other normal bombers. And since it's a flying box you must be sweating a bit when ever another bomber comes along;)
Personally I've had EMPs mixed with Cannons in all my 3 bombers (Roc, Thor, BH) and I'm having second thoughts about mixing them up. I feel going full EMPs is more in my style.
Against fighters having the 2xCannons is more akin like fighting in a fighter against bombers. You slowly bleed the guy. Not my style at all. And having only 3 or 2 Pulse means that you a chipping slowly the shield of GBs away. Way too slowly.
To me bombers are more or less taking the shot and going evasive, so either you end up doing the shield work with SNAC or you really have to make the most of it in the short burst of guns to make an effect on the shields just before the GB can turn it's guns on you. You have small window of opportunity. And having too few EMPs fail to achieve the desired effect for me.
So I think going full EMPs is more efficient way to go about it. But experiment with them.
The very good thing about the new weps is that they all have the same speed, so you only need to do weps groups to conserve energy.
