The Farmer's Mamoru or "Mama" bomber was designed by Samura for the Farmer's Alliance. Built at the small shipbuilding facility on Cape Soya Station, the Mama gives the Farmers a ship capable of quickly stripping transports shields while retaining enough agility to defend itself from hostile fighters. It's twin turret weapons setup is designed to give the Mama the ability protect it's blind spot with more firepower than other ships of the same class. The Mamoru is quickly developing a fearsome reputation amongst Synthfood pilots flying in Kusari and the Sigma's.

Handling

Review without version number

Review The Mamoru, or Mama, is a very agile bomber, probably the most agile one. Unfortunately this agility comes with a low powercore compared to other heavier bombers. It still is enough against transports/gunboats, and to some extent cruisers/destroyers. Going against Battleships alone is a waste of time with this, because your SNAC will not recharge before his shields, but this is the same with all other equivalent bombers. It's weapon mounts seem low, but most bombers only have 4 forward firing guns. Another problem with this bomber is, it's low hull points. You have to rely on its agility to evade incoming fire, or you will not last long. Against other bombers, jousting is and isn't a good tactic at the same time, you can outturn your opponent easily, so do it and make him taste a SNAC on the side of the cockpit ! It is also recommended to use full Bomber EMP Cannons and Bomber EMP Turrets along with Nuclear mines to still be able to damage your opponent's hull incase you cannot hit him with a SNAC. Don't forget that the Mine + Cruise Disruptor tactic works ! You will also need to be a member of the Farmers Alliance or the Hogosha to be able to use this beautiful beast.

Mamoru always was, and probably will be top tier bomber. Having extremely high agility, combined with excellent gun and Snac placement and being relatively small, it's only con is the low armor, which isn't a big deal if you know how to use this ship. Definetely would recommend, as it's one of the best bombers in the game.

Pros: Everything except armor Cons: Armor

Rating: 10/10
