Topic: Bombers * Attack bonus?

It's been so long that i've forgotten if the attack bonus applied to bombers vs lasers? I do 11-14 bombers per laser typically without attack bonus. if i've got a 50% attack bonus can i send 6-8 bombers instead with the same effect?

Re: Bombers * Attack bonus?

even with 50% attack the rule is 12 bombs/laser to be completely sure;

usualy when 50% attack bonus you can do 10 bombs/laser but without any other bonuses you can never go under 10 bombs for a laser xd unless you want to commit suicide

Re: Bombers * Attack bonus?

But with 70% race, FA and No fear I should effectively be doubling my fleet? Meaning 6 bombers or 7 per laser should work?

Re: Bombers * Attack bonus?

It sortof worked. I don't have any good answer. His race bonus shouldn't mean anything unless it applies to lasers, which it shouldn't cause they are buildings. I killed more lasers than i should have but it could have been a fluke too, since it's not exactly 10 to 1. I'm just more confused now hmm

Re: Bombers * Attack bonus?

I always thought attack bonus wasnt applied to bombers, been wrong all this time or has it changed recently?


edit

Fighting points

How good the different units perform in battle is determined by their fighting points, high numbers are better. There are 4 types of points. Air attack; how good are the unit in attacking other flying units. Air defence; how good are the unit to avoid and survive fire from other air units. Ground attack; what are the units chance to attack a unit on the ground. Ground defence; if attacked from the ground what chances the unit got to avoid and survive the fight.


so there u have 4 types of points, non of them for bombers neither lasers defense.

Re: Bombers * Attack bonus?

anyway the guide is no thing to trust about:

Phase 3: Groundfight

This is the last phase, the phase where the outcome of the battle finally is decided. The transporters who survived the previous phases lands on the surface and allow any ground troops that has been passenger in the transports to run out guns blazing. Soldiers and droids of the two powermongers fight it out over the control of the planet. Neither airunits or laser turrets are able to give any support in this, the final and most important, phase. The maximum possible loss in this phase is 15% of ground units.


This has proved to be completely false since I have trully lost 30% of ground units and even more when attacking soldiers to soldiers.

Re: Bombers * Attack bonus?

Yeah i have to agree. I sent 33 less bombers than i should have based on his lasers. Even with basically 100% attack bonus, I got all lasers but 1. So I think it had more to do with the fact that 10 bombers isn't always needed for 1 laser and really no bonuses apply.

Re: Bombers * Attack bonus?

Attack bonus does not apply to bombers.

If it's meant to, it's not working. And I don't think it should. You're welcome big_smile

Re: Bombers * Attack bonus?

bombers don't have attack points, they just have 10% chance to destroy a laser (whatever is ur attack bonus), that's why u send 10 for 1 and bit more in case u are unlucky
