TIE Bomber confirmed?

Did CG just confirm the eventual release of a TIE Bomber?
https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/225031/developer-q-a-02-27-2020/p1

Q: Dear Developers! There are 2 Empire Capital ships in the game, but only 5 Empire starfighters and non of them is a Tank. Without a good tank a fleet isn’t competitive. Are there any plans to make an Empire Tank starfighter?

A: CG_Miller - TIE Bomber would be a perfect ship to make, it had many appearances in the canon and it would carry on the line of bombers(Hyena, Y-wing) The Empire has a ton of cool TIEs we have yet to put into the game as collectible units. The TIE Bomber is just one of them, and your instinct on carrying on the tradition in bombers like the Hyena and Y-wing is a smart one.
  • An fleshed out Empire faction would be nice, but I'm still waiting for my Ginnivex Fanblade. Nothing less will do.

    Eh, bring on the crewless ship! We don't need another nameless tie pilot to farm and gear up to relics to be useable in some fleet.


    Yeah, personally I'm thoroughly enjoying my Malevolence tank that outperforms Hound's Tooth at 6 stars and didn't require me to G13 a character I never use.


    You realize that nego players jump out of their seats with joy when they see a malevolence fleet on their climb?

    And also, sorry you don’t see all the places that G13 bossk shines, you’re truly missing out.


    I'm always glad to see my GAC opponent fluffed their GP with a G13 Bossk given how easy he easy to beat.

    EDIT: Leaving typo for effect.



    At your level, your opponent shouldn't be putting bossk on D. Perhaps your stellar GAC results are due to you facing inferior players.

    All I said was bossk shines in many areas of the game, including GAC if used correctly, which is absolutely true.

    And we don’t all have perfect killer rosters like you and your constant gloating and putting others down is tired.


    Thanks for the compliment.

    Second time now a reference to bombers. It could be nothing, but it just might be. :)
  • 2 capital ships for the Empire and none of them is useful.

    Yeah, I am really waiting some love from the dev for the most important faction of the Star Wars Universe.

    One day maybe one day
  • I'm sure the tie bombers first appearance was in ESB during the crater scene. I wouldn't be surprised if it comes on May 4th or around that time

    My hope is that CG will release a pilot-less tank for each of the factions. Exactly like what they did with the Y-Wing for GR and the Hyena for Seppies. The TIE Bomber for the Empire would be a logical choice next.

    Maybe even a B-Wing for the Rebels (so to avoid having two Y-Wings in the game).
