Pt bombers also have at least a 15 second rip time. They are also weaker than hvy bombers. They also can only carry 1 lrm ab per rack, whereas xrm you carry 5 (or maybe 4, w/e).
So to be effective, the drop needs to be farther (to give the bbrs time to rip before an int blasts it), they need to travel farther (to gain momentum to launch at maximum range) and they only can launch 1 lrm ab before they are in mrt range anyway due to long reload times. All this time gives an exp team plenty of time to blast the weaker PT out of the sky

Bull@#(!. The missiles cost money before, even though the ships didn't. Noir made that changed and completely killed using PT bombers as anything other than a bizarro figbee.

What? I'm fairly sure only MRT cost money, since DN 4.4x LRM AB was a free missile unless I'm mistaken. I don't have ICE or Alleg on this machine so I can't check but I'm sure PTs could mount both MRT and LRM AB, one of which was free.

If LRM AB is free now, I suspect it was also free back then.

LRM Antibase is free. MRT Antibase isnt free it has comprable damage to AB1

Gappy, you are thinking about MRT AB, not LRM.

In DN 4.5, MRTs were $100/each. LRM AB was free. PTs were free.

In DN 4.6, MRTs were made free, LRMs remain free, and PTs cost $250 each.

I believe that's how things remain under CC_03 (just checked ICE, unless there are extra entries for those items).

I think we're getting a little far afield. Apoch, can you mark down that icon change I mentioned for CC_04 (so the research and loadout icons match up)?

I put the icon change in the CC office for you Clay

If I recall it correctly basic bombers can mount them as well.

Also - maybe its fair to keep it that way since GT doesn't has FigBombers in AdvSup.

In a no-dev DM, GT has no nan1 but Dreg does have it.

Thanks Cortex, I will sort GT out. Must of been an old issue from the days of DN.
