So just give the nomads that expensive/balanced t1 bomber, so this does not mess up balance in the other races?

This is mandatory for everyone. I'm ok with using Nomads as a test, tho.

The Nomad T1 bomber essentially carpet bombs. Try it.

(incidentally, for those who say it will be OP, this feature didnt really seem to be a big deal back in SCom1, nor when it was implemented in the Supremilated mod. It might make a balanced T1 bomber a little bit OP, and a underpowered T1 bomber balanced, but it doesnt seem to have a major strengthening effect in practice, from what I have seen.)

It was ridiculous in Vanilla. It was essentially mercy sniping. I won games I was totally losing by throwing bombers at them. The bombs did so much damage.

Since the UEF t2 bomber is very useless, it should be given the carpet bombing ability. Since uef is the faction most used by noobs it would be the proper place for carpet bombing. All the other factions have much better t2 bombers so it won't make things imba, perhaps make it a little more expensive.
