Aeon bombers suck - they need a buff

[FunkOff]

Aeon has by-far the worst bombers in all of FAF. Let's analyze:

T1 bomber:
- Lowest damage (200)
- Perk (brief stun) is totally pointless

T2 bomber:
- DOESN'T EVEN EXIST

T3 bomber:
- Easiest to dodge
- No AA guns
- Highest damage, but barely

Compared to other bombers, Aeon is simply lacking.

Suggestions:
- T1 bomber projectile: Add tracking to bomb
This improves the bomber's ability to raid engineers, but doesn't improve it's abilities against other targets. A small buff is enough.

-T3 bomber projectile: Add tracking to bomb
This improves it's ability to snipe ACUs or fast moving units, but doesnt improve it's ability against other targets. A small buff is enough.
-or-
-T3 bomber weapon: Increase damage to 3800.
This allows it the be the only T3 bomber which can two-shot a T3 mex and one-shot an SMD.

It's not much. Just give them something to work with.

(But I wouldn't mind all Aeon T3 air having toggle-able personal shields like Cybran T3 air has the stealth!)

T3 Aeon bomber in vanilla had the anti-missile flares.Its a good time to put again.

This could work, too. It would help against SAMs/cruisers, at least.

Tracking for t1 will be OP for early engy kills. In fact i do not think t1 bomber needs changes at all.

It would actually be the opposite; as long as you know what direction an engie is facing you will always be able to curve and dodge a bomb. It's a nerf if anything.

In vanilla Aeon T1 had a short stun effect if i remember,
and Aeon t3 where tracking as well in combination to the TMD flare, means undogeable,

The code is inside the Shoker original vanilla unit.scd file. (UAA0304) The weapon and any related files still were mantained in SupComm FA, and it works very well. Ive utilized that in my private never ending mod

T1 bomber kills stray t1 engies like its supposed to.

T2 fighter slaughters anything air vs ground and can win asf battles as supplement

T3 strat seems balanced and who actually sees aa benefit from any strats.

solution: build czar they just got buffed ; D
