Review :
I always thought those low Bombing values on Thunderbolts and Longbows were
odd. There was no way a single generic ship could actually damage a Carrier.
But those ships should be using torpedoes I suppose.. so we have the Torpedo
card. That's nice, but other things may be better. Two craft with Torpedoes
would kill a Carrier, but so could two craft with Bombing 3. A Bombing value
of 3 isn't terribly hard to achive if you plan things a bit. A super bomber
with a Bombing value of six isn't impossible either (although you're going to
have to be working those pilots, medals, etc). I think with so many options
available to TBolts and Longbows, the best use of the Torpedo is with the
Torpedo Mount on a lesser fighter. Make the most of your assets.
