Lets face it, bombers are the slowest at clearing obstacles.
Why? All but a few bombs hit only once with their blast. This makes breaking minerals and certain blocks slow.
Why not make bombs able to break them with one blast
Affected blocks:
Stone Blocks (the ones that take 3 hits to break)
Steel Hedgehogs
Empty Rockets
Barbed steel Hedgehogs
@Holy-Nightmare:
Completely agree. I suggested for bombers to have a simple close quarter punch that takes 0 damage and just for breking minerals and activating switches, but the developers did not move on this idea. So making those things that have to be broken break easier due to an exploding bomb would make it much easier and faster to move around the clockworks.
