Bombs are unlike any other missiles as they are unguided and do not require the pilot to lock his target prior to launch. When they are deployed, they will travel in front of the bomb launcher in a straight line, continuing for a fixed amount of time (12 seconds for damage bombs, 7.5 seconds for Void and Lockbreaker bombs) until they reach a distance of 30km from the original launch point where they will detonate. This detonation causes a large amount of damage of a single type to all ships within 15km radius of the detonation. Remember, this damage is indiscriminate as it causes the same damage to the launching ship as well the others that are within the blast zone radius and as stealth bombers are notoriously squishy, it is likely that those that are caught within the blast radius will be destroyed. Do not continue flying in a straight line following the launch of a bomb and if flying with other bombers, be aware of their launch points as well.
