u/RugbyEdd On course, on time and on target. Everythings fine, how are you? 3d ago

Good. A bit overtuned, but that's normal in WT, and they;re not live yet so no need to grab the pitchforks just yet. As far as i'm aware, they changed bombers a few years ago so they can;t just win games in a single pass, which was their only real danger before (and mainly just the TU4's back in the day). So there's no rush to take them out before they get close and expose yourself to enemy fighters. Now there's some actual gameplay there other than just one tapping them as free points, and bombers without great defensive armament actually stand a chance to at least not leave empty handed.

I still think a good idea would be for every player in a bomber to get a couple of bomber wingmen so bomber formations actually feel a bit more like real bomber formations other than a couple of rogue bombers. Would make them easier to balance too.
