Everything else, and its easier to use 10x smartbombing battleships and a triage anchor. A more serious concern is of course the fact that bombers will get popped left right and center by sleepers. Worth a try I suppose, but it will just result in a pile of bomber losses I feel.

I'm going to help you understand this. Keith has decided that the W-forums are his personal troll board, and has been exercising his newfound trolling powers.

Actually despite my other post, this one isn't a troll, but pointing out something that *might* be broken. Back in Sky I talked to someone who used to run sites with a single bomber; when he was bored or just to see if he could.

That would be me. Tazer used to fund his pvp doing it and Muppet, Phade and I would assuage our autism with it from time to time as well. Sentry guns will wreck Bombers surprisingly fast though and it's relatively niche. But it is hilariously fun to watch it work even once.

Should be fun to try again post patch though.

good job on being able to divide 7 by 2 and rounding up.
