The only heavy fighter in the game that is how heavy fighters should be. Most of the rest are underpowered.
I somewhat agree that Bayonet is one of the best HF's in game, only behind Agama perhaps.
But while that's true, it's a bit silly to give a best HF to the faction which focuses on pirating.
HF's are bad for pirating. They really are.
And Hackers mostly get in to fights when they are pirating. So, I'd take a Sabre over Bayonet any time.
Point being, I wouldn't mind changing 'the best HF' thing for 'decent enough bomber' thing. But that's just me.
Alright, Broadsword, here it is.
I don't know why, but it's responsiveness seems lousier then on a Roc, while it has identical numbers and a bit better turning rate.
It's also smaller then Roc, but much (and I mean MUCH) easier to hit it.
I think that's because Roc has better shape. Just like Praetorian is hard to hit, even though it's not really small.
It's torpedo slot is not bad but not very good either. It has by far weakest armor compared to anything Hackers can meet in space.
My suggestion would be to nerf it's turning rate a bit in exchange for better responsiveness.
Or, make it smaller. I don't know. I just know that both Roc and Falcata are far better then it, which makes little sense given that any unlawful can pretty much fly those, while Hackers are guarding their technology.
All in all, it doesn't seem 'too bad' to me, but I find even Warran more useful then Broadsword, even though it's obviously a flying can.
As for the Gunship, I only have experience fighting against it, so that wouldn't be much of a help.
But for what it counts, yes, it's much easier to SNAC it then anything else in Liberty. Don't know much about other things.

The Broadsword is as useless as the Upholder. Its terribly slow and way too easy to hit imo. Personally, I'd make a heavy bomber out of it. Buff the plant and armor a bit and there you go, you got yourself a heavy bomber. No need to nerf the speed further cuz its already as slow as some heavy/heavier bombers.
The Broadsword is not that useless, it is fast ship, the problem however is the shape, it is you "cannot miss me shape". It eats all possible projective from all angles- Snacs and Razors.
It is the bomber that I die the most.
I would really like to see it a bit smaller(option is to cut the distance between the two sided engines and the main body), or if you want to give it medium bomber plant I am also all for it. But dont forget the Liberty contra part too, if you are gonna buff it buff the Upholder too.
Anyway this topic should be here.
