500KG worse than orbital precision strike

[10000 Angry Bees]

Takes longer to cool down, just about as long to hit and detonate, isn't free at lvl 1, and does less damage.

It's 500KG of dogwater.

But big boom pretty

That sounds like automaton propaganda

500KG absolutely does more damage than the orbital precision strike. It basically needs a direct hit but it will kill whatever it hits. It's by far the most available massive enemy killer.

Tell that to the tank turrets that die in 1 orbital but will survive multiple 500KG bombs.

The actual explosion radius is miniscule, in the video showcasing it in the strategem unlock menu you can actually see that it doesn't even touch any of the bug holes lol

The problem with turrets is that the tower isn't part of the hitbox. The 500KG will definitely kill a turret if it hits it though.

i can drop two in concession because of ship upgrades and cool down is almost non existent with eagle resupply ship upgrades too. drop two anywhere and its good to go,

sometimes the area feels.....too small to the point i feel i could hit things better with a barrage

The things you're bringing 500KG bombs for aren't things that would die from a barrage. Hulks, Tanks, Chargers, and Bile Titans all die from a single 500KG bomb.

Railcannon Strike and Orbital Laser are the only things competing for Massive enemy kills, and both of those have like a quarter of the 500KG's availability.

I can throw two 500kg bombs before rearming and it rearms in like 2 minutes

If you direct hit a heavy, it one shots anything

[HalleysComet]

Land on the titan, kill it instantly
I’ll give 500kg 10/10.

[Spooky]

i feel like the 500 broadcasts a issue ive noticed with this game and its that damage values seem widly inconsistent or the explosion hit box is easily obscured by terrain

500KG Bomb getting a Triple Kill on BT would like a word with you

I feel this one.
I think personally, the 500kg bomb is bugged. I think something is wrong with how its tagging enemies to be hit by its damage. I constantly see way to many things walk away from the fire ball.

Personally my 2 bread and butter stratagems are the eagle bombing run, and the precision orbital strike. That way im not relying on just an eagle for long periods of having nothing and the precision does bookoo damage.

The 'low level' stuff is not meant to be worse it is actually standard issue and meant to be just as good as everything else just for other situations. You get to have the option to customize with other equipment
