[edit] Overview
- Class 2 UEA Fighter
- Moderately priced and effective in Space Combat vs. ships.
- Extremely good travel range (360).
[edit] Special
- Bombers on the ground can be used to destroy specific enemy structures. Set your ground base's command code to bxx where xx is the number of a ground structure (01 for Training Centers, 02 for Factories, etc...) and make sure that your military is set to deep ground patrols or better. One structure will be destroyed for each bomber you have. In other words, you'll need 30 bombers if you want to destroy 30 cities.
- (In practice, this special ability has not proven to be very useful. I've never seen it used effectively. The CoM's Warrior Assault device and the Rebel's Rebel Ground Assault are much more effective at destroying specific structures since you don't have to land a ground assault team first)
Bombers do not have to be on the ground to use the Bxx ability I have used it with great success against Robot Gun Zeros and Insect nests using suicide squadrons of 10 fighters. It is also hugely strategically useful. If your opponent is short of food target his farms, money target his cities (especially undercities), short of troops target his training centres. If he is short of anything make it worse!
- As Enforcer Bomb comes before Warrior Assault, you can use it, to destroy a base shield if it is not possible by other means and you have the sovereignty over the orbit. So you can support your first early attack very effectivly even against a Borg's HW - no race should feel confident if an UEA is in the neighborhood. (GT)
