anti bombers?
« on: February 08, 2010, 08:26:48 pm »
Fortresses are awesome! ( still don't believe that people say that they are expensive and all lol)

basically , insta kill for fighters and cruisers, i looked at the stats page, but it wasn't very clear, cause it wasn't the same ingame,

I just want to know which turret is great for bombers, since i hate my fortress taking half a minute killing 1 bomber.

though fortress ship cap is rather low

I think the Missile turrets (not MLRS) are good vs bombers.

Missile turrets are reasonably good against bombers yeah(aka the best you are going to find).  Generally bombers are a bit harder than most other ships types to handle with just turrets, I assume with the intention to make it harder for a pure turret defense to handle everything.

I've actually seen basic turrets doing okish vs bombers...

this is naturally something that you see the turret kill a bomber once, and you assume the turret is good vs the bombers :)

I don't think most of the turrets have malii against bombers, just missiles are the only one with a bonus.  Thus most of them can kill bombers, just most of them aren't great at it.

Oh, I think snipers have a decent bonus against bombers too, but their dps isn't high enough to rely upon for defense alone really, but a few can help pick off wandering bombers.
