Bombing Run

I'm really enjoying myself, theorycrafting on missile heavy lists lately.

Jonus should swarm tactic the scimitar so everyone can get a targetlock before unleashing hell on the poor fellow on the other end of the missiles. To be sure that the scimitar can use those tracers he should fly ahead of the main bomber formation still at range 1 from jonus though.

1) It will not be easy to fly bombers with different PS in one formation. Especially after K-turn.

2) With guidance chips, i suppose, you don't really need Captain Jonus. He dies too fast.

3) I suggest to use different types of missiles to improve your ordnance might:

Assaults are perfect against swarm and all those high agility ships due to collateral damage.

Homings with crack shot and still usable TL are especially good.

Clusters provide you the second attack, and what is more important, they allow you to fire them even at range 1, if you made a mistake with positioning. Its much more better than default 3 dice attack (1st distance).

4) It will be very difficult to fire all the missiles twice. But possible.
