    Default Bomb Ketch - a request to remove

    The Bomb vessel historically was used only for shore bombardment e.g. of forts, harbours, towns. It was aimed by pointing the whole vessel at the target and adjusting this by pulling/easing on ropes and anchors (known as springs).

    The main armament was not used for ship to ship action as the rate of fire much to slow and aiming whilst moving well nigh impossible, not to mention that very limited ammunition was carried (a tender was used to carry more).

    In other words the Bomb should not feature in the game or if it does it should not use the mortar for ship to ship combat.

    Can we remove them from the game or at least remove the mortar from them please?

    PS Think the same would apply to Rocket Ships too.
