ursa was the first bomber I grabbed, I saw "heavy assault" and "5" and figured "wow, that's gotta be better" I managet to take out the fighters that were making my life suck and get my cyclops's in <my first play through, I hadn't started actually reading stuff yet and getting acclimated, hadn't even realized what the 5 meant>

I still like the ursa and have since used it on missions on hard difficulty with success

The Ursa would be a lot better if the AI didn't suck at escort...

EDIT: Actually that's kinda irrelevant, as in multiplayer, your escort (assuming it's human) is (usually) good. Maybe I'm just using it on all the wrong missions...

Really, my issue is the AI doesn't target bombs worth squat. I mean, it randomnly fires, even when you're supposed to take out something.

And my opinion of the AI = Meatshields

blob turrets target bombs juuuuust fine.

even on medium.

the AI are meatshields....waves of shivan bombers anyone? red circles all over your wingmen display anyone?

[Turey]

Actually, I tend not to have that big of a problem with my wingmen at medium and above (where I almost always play).

[wtf_cl0vvn]

My experience with wingmen has been that unless you distract the enemy they have a horrendously short lifespan.

[Polpolion]

My wingmen die at about the same times at almost all difficulty levels, except it is more noticeable at the higher ones.

[Quest_techie]

I'm a horrible individual because I just invincible my wingmen, eventually I'll get good enough I won't have to, but my hp is enough to worry about

[Snail]

Wingmen are born to die, just like every other life form.

Sorry, I meant firing. Like... they don't aim where they fire bombs.
