How do you guys die? I mean, I'm playing on medium, but that shouldn't make too much of a difference (does it?). I don't usually care how maneuverable it is for some reason, but the Ursa is just so slow! IIRC you gain 10 m/s with the boanerges. If I have a choice, I usually go with the Medusa unless I really need that larger secondary capacity.

So... you mock the Ursa for being useless, and then choose a bomber which is even worse?

[Mars]

The Medusa is the best bomber for that mission I've found.

[Hippo]

No mission was specified

[Mars]

It was in the context... but okay... Slaying Ravana

What I'm saying it's kind of like saying the collie is horrible, and then going off to commission a Deimos.

You can get a lot more corvettes for the price of one juggernaut.



Besides, the Medusa severs it's purpose just as good if not better than an Ursa does its (assuming an assault bomber is what I think it is). Come to think of it, it might be better than the Boanerges, too.

Sekhmat FTW.

[Singh]

I find it pretty useless. It was said to have a huge payload and everything, but the only advantage it has over other bombers is it's ability to carry the helios and heavy armor. And the heavy armor is negated by it's size and speed. Its payload is the same as other bombers, you'd think it would at least have the payload of a boanerges.

What do you guys think of it?

[Mars]

Sekhmat FTW.

The Sekhmat is so much better than any other bomber in the game, it's almost unbalanced.

[Taristin]

Shivan and Vasudan technology. Both make better reactors than Terrans. Combined... well, Sekhmat ftw.

Now if only you could spell it.

[CP5670]

Yeah, it's a little sad to see the same spelling error three times.

[IceFire]

GVB Sekhmet.  From memory.  Love that bomber...and it gets almost no play in the main FS2 campaign...although there is a great Vasudan co-op mission where you use it.

[CP5670]

There are actually two missions like that in a sense, as it was also a popular ship (some would argue the best) for Rebel Intercept in the PXO days. It actually used to be one of the most commonly used ships in TvT games. Almost everyone used either that or the Herc II.

[Taristin]

Yeah, it's a little sad to see the same spelling error three times.

Ehh, Ive seen it spelled both ways... I dont remember how FS2 spells is, since I haven't played it in ages.

Doesn't it get absolutely no play in the main campaign?
the only time you even see it is in the first SOC loop, when they attack the Iceni.

IIRC they dont even carry bombs...just hornets.

[Taristin]

Because if they had bombs, the Iceni would have been toast.

This is very true.  Virtually no play in the main campaign at all and while its not quite as versatile as the GVB Bakha its definitely the better straight out assault bomber.  It can even dogfight fairly well.

It can dogfight better than a Herc II

What is truly funny, is that if you had an Ursa with Helios second mission... well, say goodbye to the Iceni.

And on anything above medium, say goodbye to survival 0.o
