Bombs for Bombers?

Hey,
i waited for many builds now and until now, this hasnt changed.
Will the Bombers will drop bombs in the future or will the keep this "rocket-style"?
Thx

Alpha is alpha. Expect things to change.

I wouldn't mind a bit of both. AoE bombs for T1, accurate rocket racks for T2.

Single bomb (unguided, big aoe) for the t1 bomber. You can dodge that.

Massive stream of bombs (think TA bomber) for the t2 strategic bomber. It also flies much higher and thus AA has a harder time to hit it. Really slow though.

Guided rocket (no aoe, very accurate, high damage, long range) for the t2 tactical bomber.

6 guided rockets (able to attack 3 targets simultanously with 2 rockets each if available, low damage each) for the ground assault t2 fighter/bomber.

2 tank cannons for the flying fortress t2 ground attack aircraft.


I don't just want bombs, I want everything. :mrgreen:

I do want to see a carpet bomber sooner or later.

While I would like dropped bombs instead of guided rockets, I'm feaful to hope for such things since the dropped bombs from SupCom were quite horrific in terms of the AI knowing when to drop them. I haven't check for a while as to whether they've finally been perfected by the community for a long time, but I recall reading "fixed bomb accuracy" or something to that effect numerous times across official / community patches.

Most things are just placeholders. At the start of alpha everything used missiles.

I love every idea here +1
