That's the first time I've seen such horrible performance from those anime bombers. Normally they never miss an ACU no matter how much you moved. ( I guess you to have move in an exact certain way. Like when Aeon's t1 bomber misses an engineer.)

To be fair, dodging 50% of the damage still nets you 9k damage, which is better than corsairs. Even if you expect them to hit more, like say 70%.
On top of that the Jani kill all the shields and AA around while doing it.

Wait you're saying that 1 not dodged janus strike on an acu does 1.8k dmg? xD There's no way that's true.

Woah that's pretty cool. Learn something new every day.

Alternative fact, is a new fag word for a lie.

Ahaha he got me. I'm so gullible

Yeah, I guess that's a good idea, I'm a pretty new player (well, I played on gpgnet before FA came, but that was a long time ago) so I guess I should try to keep and open mind and not be afraid to try new things. I've just been learning so much in the past few weeks it's hard not to play like a robot, but I'm starting to get the hang of things.

They aren't actually good at sniping now either. If you dodge you will avoid almost all damage. Just give yourself enough room to circle-dodge and you will survive 20 passes easy vs 10 janus. Stop dodging and you die fast.

Janus burn time is going to be increased so they will be even worse for sniping in the future, just a heads up

One more thing about sniping with gunships, you can actually dodge gunship fire with flaks, except for the renegade because of its aoe.

I thought the general idea of dodging conventional bombers was that the bomber would try to lead you and toss the bombs far off course? not grnd fire ofc Janus and notha are more affected by that then corsairs (or gunships) so they are considered better for sniping

Spoiler: show

And janus also kill mobile shield (unit) with fire that let in ground. Dodge janus is very hard, if even posible. Also what it do in powerplants field is insine.

Have you tried dodging Jani in the latest patch?
Because holy mother of god the sea of fire that appears from just 3 is immense.
1,8k damage is nothing to scoff at either. Sure, it takes some time to get there, so unlike corsair or notha, it won't be instant eradication but it's definitely more reliable than notha, and doesn't miss an ACU standing still like a corsair.
