Stealth Bombers: Difference between revisions

Line 282:

In general usage, a Bombing Squadron is composed of 7 bombers. It is required that all bombers in the squadron have the same type of bomb. Ideally, the squadron is homogenous as far as the type of bomber hull.

===Fleet DD===

===Fleet Damage Dealer===

A bomber attached to a fleet that is not part of a bombing wing (there may be too few bombers or the fleet is fighting in high or low sec where bombs are not available) will normally use torpedoes. In this role a bomber acts like an EWAR ship, warping in at range, fighting aligned at maximum range and warping out when targeted. If left alone, a bomber's torpedoes will do impressive damage to large ~~ships~~ (battlecruisers and battleships) ~~or to ships with large signature radius~~. However, if a bomber is frequently targeted and continously warps off, applied DPS to target is lowered considerably. Bombers can be used in frigate gangs to bring a "big punch" for use against large targets, but ~~this~~ is ~~rare~~. Remember, bombers have very low hit points, ~~they are made~~ of ~~glass~~.<br />

A bomber attached to a fleet that is not part of a bombing wing (there may be too few bombers or the fleet is fighting in high or low sec where bombs are not available) will normally use torpedoes. In this role, a bomber acts like an EWAR ship, warping in at range, fighting aligned at maximum range and warping out when targeted. If left alone, a bomber's torpedoes will do impressive damage to ships that have or generate large ship signatures (battlecruisers and battleships). However, if a bomber is frequently targeted and continously warps off, applied DPS to target is lowered considerably. Bombers can be used in frigate gangs to bring a "big punch" for use against large targets. Eve University roams will sometimes find large signature targets, and in these situations, torpedoes would provide additional dps. If small signature targets are locked and scrammed, torpedoes provide a fraction of total damage, but it is still damage on target, so don't let target size stop you from using torpedoes.

Remember, bombers have very low hit points and can be destroyed in one or two hits. But don't let that mentality stop you. If your bomber is in a safe and aligned position to launch torpedoes on any target, small or large, by all of Eden, send your torpedoes flying.<br />

Do not decloak until the following requirements are met:<br />

*Be in position at optimal torpedo launch range.
