Imperial bomber

You can disable 1 maybe 2 ,just not  enough fire power to shot down it quickly and they keep going like zombie to bomb you cruisers .

5000 of hull its just to much .All my games for rebels today are lost because of that,all games for  empire are won  ,because my team use this load out.

Some NR fighters should use Ion Missiles, then if your coordination is good, you can use Proton Torpedoes to finish off a bomber. I honestly think Coordination and experience is critical to survive 5 TIE Bombers rush. Your Mileage May Vary.

Best approach against bombers would be to use Krupx JR-89 ion cannons to disable it and then ping it so that your squadron and destroy it with a combined attack. Let me know if this works for you.

No its not working 

i may have done 130,000 capital damage in a tie bomber last night. they didn't even get close to killing the light cruisers 

I play 4 vs 5 today on TIE bombers with randoms))And we won))They try ion missiles,torpedo and ion cannons,its not working against TIE Bomber spam.5000 armor is to much on my opinion.

Everyone who disagrees..well good luck against imps in ranked!

The TIE bomber only gets like 4800 hull with a mod that basically destroys any chance at speed.  It's less than 10 total hits from an X-Wing.  Are you sure you're actually DAMAGING them?

I mean, Y-Wings are WAY tankier than TIE bombers, especially if you're using overshields and shunting.

The only way I can see you having any TTK problems against TIE bombers is if you're using the guided lasers, which do like half damage and need a ton of hits.
