Detailed Tactical Info
This moving artillery emplacement destroys any raider in its path, using the guidance of its spotters it holds control over wherever it is placed, even more so on night raids where it is often seen with Rocketeers backing it up. Watch out, as its shells destroy shields and raider alike without exception.
Combat Advisory
When dealing with a Bombardier, make sure to cut off its connection to its spotters first, as getting rid of them leaves it with only its poor eyesight to rely on. It has issues firing shells point blank, but don't underestimate the range at which it can fire shells from. If you have come up to it point blank, it may also do an explosion similar to a leaper blast, so stay on your toes and watch for it when close up. Similar to the Bastion, it is vulnerable to quite a lot of grenades, so use the same techniques you would use on the Bastion here as well. They have surprisingly good aim but make sure to watch the shells it fires, as you can roll out of the way much easier if you watch for where they aim.
