Tie Punisher: dual bombs???

By Plainsman, in X-Wing

Yes, I mentioned it in another thread the other day based on the wookiee entry. It says that it has dual launching missiles and torpedoes too.

In the cannon it may but with the game I think not. Many of the upgrades especially with secondary weapons are abstract. FOr example proton torpedoes. In the movies you see 2 of them launching but in the game after you used that attack once the card is discarded.

As with the Andrastia title and the question of dropping multiple bombs at once the FAQ states on page 14 a ship can only drop 1 bomb item per round even if it is equipped with more.

These new heavy bombers from wave might have 2 bomb slots or more but I doubt they will be able to drop more than 1 bomb per round.

Some sort of upgrade or special pilot ability allowing it might happen though. Something like push the limit but for dropping bombs.

Also, most ships that carried secondaries had many more than in this game. The X-wing was supposed to carry like a dozen. Same with the A-wing.

I don't know if dropping 2 bombs would be that powerful... With a high PS pilot it might. But then even if you did, we are talking about an investment of 4-10 points, this should better pay off if you ask me!
