Bombers

[Benjamin]

I don't think bombers should be nerfed.

But really they are too good against fighters in 1 on 1.

Only nerf I'd go for on bombers is a regen one. Why do they have so many?

Fighter can easily solo a bomber if properly played, just use the agility you got to your advantage.

Bombers have more bots than VHF class vessels , (between 40 plus minus) which makes sense since they are heavier.

I am pretty much always really pissed off at myself when I get beat by a bomber in my fighter, as the fighter has a huge advantage against the bomber, even lighter bombers. Sure, it's not exactly a fast kill, and you have to put a little work in, but you stay behind them, and pay attention to your shields and his SN, and its really not all that hard at all, much easier than killing a fighter.

Not the point mate. This threat was originally created on "Battleships" Thread i believe. Fighter may destroy bomber yes, but it is the matter of time. Fighter fails in defending capital ship from bomber wings, because destroying bomber takes too long, and per that, bombers have enough time to destroy BS. Point of fighter escort = fail.

Actually a very good point.

Which does not help. The point is to argue that bombers are too good. I ask though, Why are bombers so damn armored? They are the same size as vhf for the most part, and turn slower due to their power plant increase. It makes no sense that they somehow magically have more armor in the same size ship, with same plating. All that is required is to either give bombers the armor of their VHF counterpart, or make them turn slower.

That is the reason why someone wanted faster projectiles of smaller crafts (fighters), whay i supported. I agree with Luna. Decreasing armor of bombers may be answer for fixing Fighter role as cap escort, and as bomber escort against cap escort.

We could always make bombers a bigger target, but then again, it would fail against caps.

I think we should lower their armor a bit.

ANYWAY...

Bombers BARELY hit fighters with snacs. Only new fighters and experienced bombers... in my experience:D

Erm. I replied to a person who posted above me. That was the point of my post.
