Aircraft in CnC 3 could drop off only a certain amount of bombs per run such as, orcas two bombs and the NOD bomber one bomb. I'm wondering how many a shortsword should drop off per run.

I think three or more bombs because we won't be able to build as many shortswords as we can build bombers in CnC 3.

And how powerful should these bombs be, plus what would the covenant have as bombs for their bombers (if there are fighter planes/bombers in Halo Wars)?

Answer away...

I personally think that short swords will drop lots of small bombs or one cluster bomb for maximum effectivness. As for the covenant, i think they will have a new type of atmospheric fighter/bomber that will drop fuel rods or plasma bombs.

^ For the covenant fighter plane... mini plasma bombardment. Either way they should drop some kind of green plasma blob or even blue for added looks.

A cluster bomb sounds good for the short sword.

Thanks for your contribution.

its most likely that pelicans will drop off bombs unless you mean like there bombing as in an attacks then it might be ... shortswords suck longswords own

"be youreself everyone else is already taken"

^ I mean atttacking... sure longswords own but they are a space fighter and not built to fight within atmosphere were the shortsword is designed to do exactly that.

i like this bombing run idea it can be used as a quick way to weaken the front line before attacking, or a good anti vehicular weapon.

^ Indeed my friend.

Thanks for your input.

One or two bombs should do for balancing.

Longswords aren't only space fighters. They can also operate in a atmosphere, and are classified as heavy fighter/bombers. Shortswords are short range, small or medium, bombers.

Never draw fire; it irritates everyone around you.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

Hmmm... I think they've been a little weakened. This was from the last Update.

 

  'Air units were also pretty popular, but because of their fantastic hit and run capabilities that could cripple a player’s Command Center, their power has been nerfed somewhat.  A small group of these units was able to destroy a key building or two in a poorly defended base and then flee.  It’s a good strategy that should be viable, but it was just a little too effective.'

how do you know that shortswords suck, weve actually never seen them in any of the games yet

unless the aircraft that dropped the bomb on the cannon in the halo 2 trailer, the demo on halo 1 disk, was a shortsword

it only dropped one bomb and it was powerful

Actually GDI Orca's fired anti-armor missiles in groups of 4.

I thinks your talking about the Firehawks, 2 bombs/4 AA missiles.

NOD Vertigo bombers bombs are much more destructive (Source: MIL AI serial XMC 2430-2 CnC3 bomb comparison test)

 

Dunno how many, but you can see many bombs being dropped in concept art. Perhaps 7 bombs?

Covenant can simply use Seraphs, with plasma bombs underneath (Source: Ghosts of Onyx: Prologue)
