Warfare & Tactics

When did the bomber leave, it's been kicking ass since Apocrypha.

i love bombers more than i love hips lips and fingertips.

the new cloak rules are perfect. even the insta-lock turret boats to counter it is perfect.

not all of us are faction warfare and doing missions with them..........

that makes thing lot of easier than before for bombing gangs

check out the bomber's bar.

So, there a fight with 1700 in system, guess what were the most decisive ships were?

Bombers, both sides had bomberwings and those killed a metric ton of ships and only because both sides had bombers the battle was even.

The era of the alphamaelstrom is over.

Bombers... brings back memories :)

The same day the patch with the new manufacturing of bombs went live we were attacked by a shitfest of people. I manufactured a batch of bombs and me and some others went there to try them out.

We found out the hard way that they were kind of useless when used one and one, but that it was easy to get ships to spread out to get out of the blast radius. This in turn made it harder for them to RR properly.

At one time me and a wingman saw a POS mod being harrassed by a bloody ton of fighters. We aligned in and sent bombs flying one after the other... no more fighters :p

Later on in that fight one of my corp mates dread was covered by every drone known or unknown. I had one single bomb left and I managed to jiggle through the attackers lines to the 30km mark and asked for permission to put a bomb right on top of him. At first the FC hesitated, but after another guy in our corp told him that the drones + incoming damage was killing him I was told to drop it. I did and after that there were like 5 drones left on him and the dread was saved :D It actually got a mention in scrapheap about how absolutely nasty we were to their drones :D

At the end of that war we were doing a series of POS bashes when a cyno popped and a titanbridge appeared. At the time I was part of the ED/IRC black ops brigade and all of us were carrying Concussion bombs. We warped in from every direction and dropped our bomb loads. In those pops we got more than 50 kills in one go. Myself I got like 14 pods and 1-2 ship kills (where at least one was a friendly dictor.

The FC had been kind of sceptical to us flying those bombers. He rather wanted us to be in regular BSs, but after that incident he acknowledged that the bombers really had made the day. Every ship they targeted was basicly in hull or deep armor and it looked as if they had been hit by a doomsday or two. The rest was more or less a turkey shoot... it was awsome.

I love bombers, always have, but there have not been much use for them in WH space where I have been living for more than a year now... since a lot of ships you face there are T3s which bombs are loltasticly bad against... but oh the memories are still super sweet :D

This... there are many bombers in that channel, ask questions or you can fly and practice bombing with those folks, people from different alliances/corps bomb together, just a bunch of bombers, wanting to bomb.

The best bomber for actual bombing is the one every one else is flying. There are no other cross skills than the racial frigate to be able to fly one race's bombers so I;d consider training all of them personally if you want a dedicated bomber character.
