Fighta-Bomma
"Fighta-Bomma here, ready to make a big BOOM!"
Fighta-Bommas provide Orks with their fast moving support fire. With their 3 Big Shootaz and a large payload of Grot-piloted smart bombs they can rapidly unleash their devastating arsenal against enemy forces. Orks that pilot Fighta-Bommas are usually "speed freaks," boyz that are obsessed with speed and always wanting to go fastah. Quite possibly the only thing they love more than going fast is stuffing Grots into bombs to blow stuff up with.
Tactics
The Fighta-Bomma is one of the most durable aircraft in Soulstorm and can actually hold up in a straight fight with small enemy forces. Although it's armed with Big Shootaz that do relatively good damage to infantry, its main purpose that most players have found is as a tool of disruption, even more effective than a Wartrak (though one must take into account the slow firing rate that the Grot Bomb has). It is both humorous and satisfying to watch the rather large rocket make its way slowly but surely to your enemy's clustered infantry groups. Also, due to its excellent range (especially when compared to other Ork units), the Fighta-Bomma can snipe Listening Posts or Generators in your opponent's base from a relatively safe distance. Whether this harassment tactic can be truly viable depends upon how well the Ork commander can command his aircraft.
Weapons
