 * Consider outfitting your bomber to handle New Republic fighters as well as capital ships.

Bombers are flexible craft with extremely powerful guns. What they lack in mobility, they make up for in firepower, against both fighters and capital ships. Being equipped with both bombs and proton torpedoes for capital ships is half of their battle - they also feature the powerful rotary cannon and the most health out of all the ships. They also use the Goliath and Multi-Target Missile to quickly destroy AI fighters in fleet battles, reducing the enemy's window of opportunity to target friendly capital ships.

In Fleet Battles, TIE Bombers are seen as superior to Y-wings. While they lack shielding, TIE bombers can have 3000 hull points when equipped properly, and have all the speed they need thanks to their energy conversion ability. The MC75, unlike the Star Destroyer, has defensive guns with more restrictive firing arcs. The centralized location of the MC75's subsystems make it far easier and simpler to attack.

TIE Bombers receive the Assault Shield, Multi-Missile, and Proton Bomb auxiliaries as standard.

Official Description: Slower than the standard TIE fighter, the TIE bomber boasts increased armor, an impressive explosives arsenal, and heavy blasters ideal for assaulting large targets.
