Game Overview, Tips & Analysis
Thundersword Class Bomber - Health & Shield Damage Analysis

Health The table lists health damage inflicted on Thundersword Class Bombers by base turrets, deployable turrets & packs, environment, grenades, mines, vehicles and weapons. Note that shields will usually need to be depleted before damage is inflicted on health, unless of course the source of damage has the ability to bypass shields. Tables are sorted by category with a scale value as an indicator of damage inflicted. The higher the scale value the more damage inflicted, the lower the scale value the less damage inflicted. NOTE: You should also take into account the rate of fire and amount of projectiles per firing cycle for turrets, weapons etc. Damage scale value entries in the table are for damage inflicted by a single projectile, not multiple projectiles per firing cycle.

** The value shown is damage scale once ground or terrain impact has been registered as hard enough to cause damage. Speed at time of impact is another factor to take into account. The ground or terrain impact damage tolerance varies across game entities, especially for vehicles. A Wildcat Class Grav Cycle has a much higher tolerance threshold before an impact is registered than a Beowulf Class Grav Tank.
