Here are situations in which I would consider going straight for the bomber:The bomber is within firing range of the base. In this case you should just attack the bomber out of desperation.
Wrong.
There have been many times when a bomb run was stripped of its nans then blown away after it got to firing range. Very relevant if you are GT or IC.
Just because it may be a lost cause does not give you the license to be an idiot. Actually, you do have the license to be an idiot, but don't expect people to let you on their teams for much longer.
As ImmZ said, a Gar takes over a rack of AB's to take out most of the time. The nans are usually easier to take out in this situation because the bomber has slowed down, taking them out and then blowing that bomber is possible if you keep your cool and do things right.
It's never a lost cause even if you lose that base because if you take out it's nans' or it after/as the base blows you will stop the run rolling over nearby stations!

But its personal as long as you make it personal. Oh and in my defence, I didn't chicken out by using "Don't take it personally but..." or "No offense, but...".

you can kill bomber with mini2 int. without shooting the nans.
you would have to stay together. somewhat difficult in a pick up game.
not sure how many ints it takes shooting at bbr to destroy hull
faster than a nanite gun can repair it.
i try and cut my boost at 1500, and peel off if i'm the one the
gunners are shooting at.

This is exactly what I do... If I am not the first one there and gunners are shooting, I turn off thrust, until I am slowed, then I boost while holding reverse as to look like I am going forward; bomber dies if anyone else is shooting with me. This works almost all the time!

I like the boost while holding reverse thing. Nice strategy. Will keep it mind for personal use, and when I am turretting against you.
