Would you say that bombs are best used by experienced players?

By bmwrider, in X-Wing

So far I only have one bomber. I've been wanting to pick up a second... But those pics of multi-bomb deployments really make me want to go full swarm!

I also have one Firespray. I experimented this weekend with a three ship list involving both my bomb platforms with a TIE to fill it out. Anyone having great luck building a bomb dropping list with TIE bomber(s) and Firespray(s)?

I tried a wonky kath + boba list with dual proton bombs. I failed miserably due to mis-flying. I only managed to kill 1 ship over 2 games, a single direct hit to whisper via the proton. It was worth it.

Now a 3 proton bomb emon? Sounds like fun.

I want to try a combination with Ion and proton bombs.

Say hello to the Y-wing. Or even the Firespray, really.

But Y-wing. Because turret.

I'd go so far as to say bombs are almost exclusively used by experienced players. More often than not, I see less-experienced players forget they have them, or they don't even know how they work (when to drop them, the fact that proxy mines are different, etc). If you have bombs on a low-PS ship, you really have to be able to predict flight paths.
