Seraphim Experimental Bomber (Ahwassa)

[SonnyQuackbar]

Hi.

I have noticed after a few games of playing Seraphim and building the experimental bomber that it rarely drops its bomb on the first pass of the targeted unit or structure, most of the time this ends with it dying before it can get a second pass. I am not sure if anything can be done to fix this or if someone has already addressed this issue but I could not find any other posts that address this subject.

Thanks for reading.

This video does not help, I do not mean hover bombing It just doesn't drop the bomb in general i had 2 Bombers and they both flew over the target without dropping a bomb.

This should be in tech support imo.

Regarding your question, try ground fire. It will solve your problem (Ahwassa tends to not fire if you give out the order with regular attack mode)

The video shows the bomber flying over hills and dropping bombs just fine, the increased turn rate gives the bomber more time to set up the drop, which is needed if hills and shit are in the way

This has been a problem forever. Host a sandbox game and practice with it. If you aren't using ground fire you should be.

Umm, you know SC/FA has a reputation for being challenging to learn? While your suggestion "you should know that the attack command doesn't work right for the sera expy bomber, use ground attack" helps out this one person, can you imagine how frustrating, confusing, and annoying it will be for new players? I find it incredibly annoying that normal "attack" simply doesn't work for this one unit they way it should; I am not a new player, but I don't play sera much and have lost games and gotten really frustrated when I forget the "special order or it might not work" deal with this unit.

IMO (which is worth nothing since I am not one of the amazing people working for free on this project) this is a bug and should be fixed (whenever it becomes possible to do so), rather than just expecting everyone to work around it. At the very least to reduce the micro load on seraphim players and on new players in general.

Ground fire offers a tactical advantage over a regular attack command as well as better control... I never suggested that he should already know that you should use ground fire, I merely suggested that he start doing it. There is information on things like this ALL OVER these forums, and that's why it is frustrating when I see posts like yours complaining about the lack of resources for newbies...
