seraphim...  , it's so big i can't miss it. it wouldnt be wise to choose the seraphim just for pure loadout, in the end you might need the manouvreability espeically when you choose a hard setting or atleast 6 fighters are shooting at you from the rear, despite your turret. by the way, never choose the medusa, the turret on that bomber is... weird.

I haven't tried flying one yet. However, as I've just reached The Great Hunt, I can see that the Seraphim is quite a palaver to fly. Although they are arguably the strongest bombers in the entire game, they are also quite slow. In addition, they have no afterburner, and I use ABs excessively.

What Mobius was saying was that bombers should be ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA heavy like the Seraphim, which I think is complete bollocks. I really wouldn't like flying an ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA unmaneuverable ship (like the Seraphim).

Try flying the Seraphim against an Aeolus. You get killed by its flak and its AAA, but the real funny thing is you can't dodge the Terran Huge Turrets.

What's really bollocks is that the THT's will go straight through your shield mesh to the front
So you die twice as fast.

[Al Tarket]

which just adds more to my point about manouvreability

[Droid803]

Payload is worthless if you don't make it to your target.
Give the Seraphim an afterburner, and fix its shield mesh. Then it becomes a good bomber. As it stands, its a threat as an AI because it just has to warp in and splashs your convoy with some helios, usually dying in the process (not that it matters as they come in waves). If you have to survive a bombing mission, I wouldn't choose a Seraphim.

I'd take a Sekhmet or a Nahema.

[Snail]

Yeah, so the Seraphim is not the ideal bomber, is it?

[Rodo]

go medusa!!

It's not a spacecraft if it can't dodge a Terran Huge Turret...

I like heavily armoured ships, yes, but the reason why I still prefer fighters to bombers is because fighters are faster. Between the Ursa and the Ares, I'll take the latter.

Any Shivan who attempts to take on an Aeolus in a Seraphim is screaming, "KILL ME!" at 300 decibels.

[colecampbell666]

Whenever I dogfight in multi, I use a Sekhmet with Morning Stars and Rockeyes, and I pwn.

[Mars]

The Fenris could probably dodge THTs, not certain though.

[Droid803]

With its measly 20m/s? No way.

[colecampbell666]

30 m/s

[Mars]

20 ms^-1, but it's by far the most maneuverable large ship in the game.

[Droid803]

Well, if you count it swinging around, the Colossus could "dodge" THT fire...baseball bat style.

[ShadowGorrath]

The Aeolus is faster

[Mars]

I know, but maneuverability =/= speed.

Whooo... 300 dB is quite ****ing loud. Actually over twenty times as loud as a Jackhammer.

[Colonol Dekker]

Cole. . . . Next time you use a Sekhmet. Use maxims and morning stars. See the difference. 4k range is all good.
