-Bookmark each site at the spawn and 300kms off.
-Warp 2 dreads and 2 carriers to 300kms bookmark to spawn all the sleepers.
-Warp in 4 bombers, warp off, warp in same bombers for a total of 8 bombs.

Bombing C5 sites is going to be easier, faster, and safer then running them with capitals. geegee "Jack Miton liked your forum post:" |

um, theyre not increasing the amount of damage you can do with a bomber wing so presumably you can do the same thing now with 7 bombers. *shrug* Stuck In Here With Me:-á http://sihwm.blogspot.com.au/ Down the Pipe:-á http://downthepipe-wh.com/ |

Doing it with 7 bombers would be more annoying, but yeah, it's doable... one site per minute anyone? |

It has definitely put this idea on the map but hasn't changed much. Except you can more easily muster 3 bomber pilots than 7. or if you have 6, you just get to do the same thing twice as fast.

We were able to pull off the smart bombing BS in our old C6 RedGiant. Well, sort of. We had 2-3 BS with faction bombs and the other had T2. The sleepers were usually able to get out of T2 smarty range pretty quick, even with webs.
The bombing runs would require the same amount of people/bomber. Alas, "Dude, where's my wreck? " is sure to follow |

Actually despite my other post, this one isn't a troll, but pointing out something that *might* be broken. Back in Sky I talked to someone who used to run sites with a single bomber; when he was bored or just to see if he could.
With the new bomb changes it will take exactly 7 bombs to kill he sleepers, you can however only launch 4 bombs at a time.
So if you have 4 bombers in the first group and 3 bombers in the 2nd group, you will not destroy any wrecks. "Jack Miton liked your forum post:" |

while theoretically possible, in practice its only easy with ISBoxer. Everything else, and its easier to use 10x smartbombing battleships and a triage anchor.
A more serious concern is of course the fact that bombers will get popped left right and center by sleepers. Worth a try I suppose, but it will just result in a pile of bomber losses I feel. |

Your math is wrong.
7 bombs even with the changes is only 112k damage. That's less than half the ehp of a sleepless guardian. So I think you're sort of exaggerating here. |

So if you're isboxing a bomber squad your good to go just split your normal 8 bomb wave in 2
Its still a ridiculous idea since bombs destroy wrecks Blue-Fire Best Fire |

That would be me. Tazer used to fund his pvp doing it and Muppet, Phade and I would assuage our autism with it from time to time as well. Sentry guns will wreck Bombers surprisingly fast though and it's relatively niche. But it is hilariously fun to watch it work even once.
Should be fun to try again post patch though.

We ran some numbers on this last week. Someone can check my math, but with the increase in damage, the fourth bomb to explode will pop any bombs that haven't detonated yet. |
