ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• Advanced Targeting Computer

Strengths:

• The Targeting Computer has been upgraded from the original Hydra Bomber Model, and thus makes its bombing runs more accurate
• The Bomber has also been upgraded to go faster and have better maneuverability, making Anti-Air defenses have a more difficult time shooting down the Bomber
• Unlike the Leopard Bomber, the Tiger does not need a Fighter Escort to keep itself protected.
• The Droid Brain has been upgraded to match that of the Advanced Hawk Fighter.

Weaknesses:

• The Bomber will need to fly slower to hit a heavily armed location or cruiser, making it a target to pick off for Anti Air or Interceptors
• Like the Leopard,If the payload is hit before its dropped, it could instantly explode, destroying a good deal of things around it, or even set off a chain reaction if its around other bombers of its class.

Description: Once the Light Leopard Bomber was developed, a Medium and Heavy bomber were also brought up, so it was decided to make one of each immediately. Using the frame work for Leopard Bomber, the Tiger was made to reduce the need for a fighter escort, along with its primary targets being medium military installations, or Frigates and Cruisers. The Tiger's paint job is similar to that of the Leopard, but just different enough to identify it easily.
