Do airplane bombs do more damage than bullets?

[Turbo.DCS]

Which is strange because i don't feel bosses going down faster with them

[KnightimeX]

Yes. They do more damage.

[Codester]

Yes. But you are suppose to use both at the same time constantly. Doubling your dps basically.

[NecroMaster]

Here’s the way they work.

The regular gun does more damage per second

While the bomb does large area effect damage.

The bombs do more damage then a bullet but since the bullets rapid fire they do more damage per second.

no, they deal slightly less, but are often easier to hit. also you can use both at the same time, double switch weapon to fire a single bomb while continuosly firing bullets :)

You aren’t supposed to, it’s an exploit for speedrunners and people who just are really bad without abusing glitches.

Topic Title: "Do airplane bombs do more damage than bullets? "
"No, airplane bombs deal slightly less."
"Wrong. *posts link*"
The link says plane bullets do 40 dps, airplane bombs do 37.30 dps. So what exactly are you trying to say is wrong? Plane bombs do deal slightly less.

Per hit Bombs DO more damage than bullets but less DPS.
So I was technically correct.

Is it about being correct? Because who fires one plane bullet or one singular bomb then says, oh, this proves that the bomb is more useful since a single bullet does less damage. It's obviously about the amount of damage you do over the course of the battle.

Had TC asked about Damage per Second then yes, it would matter by quite a bit.
A single bomb does more damage than a single bullet.
You can't aim your bullets up or down to attack the enemy so the next best strat is to use bombs.

DPS is implied since OP literally says they feel the bosses go down slower with bombs. They aren't worried about the damage of a single bullet and a single bomb, they're wondering which weapon is more effective in taking down a boss.

"You aren’t supposed to, it’s an exploit for speedrunners and people who just are really bad without abusing glitches." Or, y'know, people that just like smashing faces in with overkill damage for the sake of it.

It's not an exploit. Devs specifically mentioned they were wondering how long until people figured it out. It's not scumming the game. It's called a tech. To say otherwise is what is known as the scrub mind set. It's like when people get mad that you edge hog in smash bros. Anything that functionally works within the games physics is fair game. Literally only casual gamers or scrubs speak out against meta techniques.

To Codester: Really? Huh. I honestly wouldn't have guessed that. The more you know! :D
