¹ Armour values are for: Top/Front/Left/Right/Rear|Under
Bombers (UFO Type 7) are used for mission types: bombing and alien search only. It will escort others but will not infiltrate aliens into buildings.
Cityscape Combat
This UFO uses an advanced missile weapon which splits into smaller projectiles, the Disruptor Multi-Bomb Launcher, which is a deadly threat to all unshielded X-Com craft. The Bomber is similar in purpose to the Destroyer but instead of destroying buildings, this UFO is designed to eliminate swarms of Hoverbikes. Combat survivability is enhanced with a large shield, a cloaking device and teleporter.
X-Com craft which cannot mount a small shield or better, will suffer heavy combat loss. Concentrated fire from the heaviest X-Com weaponry or exotics will eventually disable or destroy the threat. Total destruction is the usual outcome since the disabled constitution value is very low.
If this UFO is bombing buildings, it may be ignored by X-Com unless a base is targeted. The Bomber may be attacked by Megapol law enforcement or by building defenders which have launched when a corporation's building is attacked. The UFO's missile weapon will be low on ammunition from fighting others. Once out of ammunition, the Bomber is a minimal threat to X-Com and can then be engaged by swarming tactics.
Crash Recovery
.png)
The crash-recovery battlescape shows the brown UFO has impacted the ground and slid towards the west, leaving a long trench in the east.
Access into the UFO is via two double-height, two-wide, doors at grass level close to the western edge with a hill just south of the southern door which can limit agent movement if avoiding grenades or missiles in flight. The trench is only has spot-fires.
Battlescape Combat
The crash recovery battlescape is eight levels high.
The Destroyer's two doors close together enables easy ambush by X-Com if positioned near the north-western side facing the doors. The hill just near the south door prevents easy escape for any lifeform. The very large open area just inside the UFO, level with the grass outisde, offers easy targeting by the aliens to any hostiles outside the doors but enables those outside to see inside. Any units lined up against the edge of the battlescape positioned to see inside the UFO can be easily killed from aliens deep inside, out of visual range, but within range of their weapons.
Once entry is possible, the floor area is devoid of cover with a grav-lift in the exact center and elevated platforms at each side providing sniper positions overlooking the lift. The uppper floors have the usual corridors which limit evasive movements from grenades or direct fire.
The UFO roof is accessible to flying units only. The exact center contains a translucent 'skylight' (and others) which enables viewing and detection of hostiles within the UFO.
Research
A succesfully recovered Destroyer allows progress towards better hybrid X-Com craft and will also provide weapons, devices, and sub-systems for further research or to sell.
