Tactical Bomber (Coalition)

The Tactical Bomber is an aircraft unit featured in Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak. It is the Coalition's heavy hitting air unit.

Summary
As per the generalized combat doctrine of the Coalition's armed forces, the Anvil's ordinance is designed to bring the pain to as many targets on the ground as possible. Once over the target, it deploys a free-fall bomb dealing heavy damage over a large area, blanketing it in a series of explosions. While this weapon has less damage than the Galsieen's Precision Bomber, its larger area of effect makes it much better for taking out groups of light-to-medium vehicles. This is particularly effective at blunting an oncoming wave of light units or entrenched groups of railguns.

Being slower than the Gunship or the Strike Fighter, the Bomber is highly vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire or counterattacks by Interceptors. The carrier can support one of these units at a time alongside two Strike Fighters.
