X4 Foundations: The limitations of mass driver + torpedo launchers combo

Описание к видео X4 Foundations: The limitations of mass driver + torpedo launchers combo

Hello everybody,

I've made a final test with the 16 Ares with mass driver + torpedo launchers, vs 1 xenon K + 1 xenon I, and I think I can make a pro and con list.

Pro:
good survivability rate for your bombers. 16 Ares took out a K and an I, w/o any loss.

Cons:
the bombers will keep their distance, but many torpedoes will miss, because mass drivers will miss.
it will take time for the capitals ships to be taken out. A larger bomber wing, lets say 40, will expedite the process, but see con one, many torpedoes will be wasted
helpless bombers, even a single xenon N can ruin your party, w/o fast interceptors

So, my initial conclusion remain, Blast mortars are the weapon of choice for paranid S bomber wings, imo.
Maybe 40 Eclipse would benefit from the mass driver + torpedo combo, but they would also benefit from a full Blast mortars config (for players willing to mix tech).
Also, my bolt + torpedoes may cause more potential losses among the bombers, but more torpedoes will hit the target, so the logistic will be more manageable, plus they can turn on the enemy interceptors if need may be.
