OOC: Megalodon actually CAN aim upwards. Only half of the sidemounted guns are pointing down, the rest are pointing up. You can see this in some of the photos. Doesn't matter though, I'll play along with your attack.

"Payload: The combined payload of the three bombers has enough power to completely destroy a well built 3.5 million toughness ship, more than 4 times." So, you are saying just one of these can take out a capital ship single handedly in RP? You can produce thousands of bombers in RP, so being able to destroy giant capital ships with only one is quite OP in RP, don't you think? And your carriers can carry dozens or hundreds of them, so.... yeah, I think the Cobra II's need a serious nerf to their capabilities in RP. For the sake of this, I'll assume that you deployed three SQUADRONS of Cobra II's, totalling about 60-90 bombers. There is NO way any fighter should be able to singlehandedly take out a capital ship. It would be like saying a single dive bomber could take out the Yamato!

IC: The alien battleship is caught in the crosshairs of the bombing raid. The first bombs strike the topside of the ship, exploding harmlessly against the hull. It seems as if the bombing raid is a complete failure, but then as more and more bombs continue to hit the alien warship, its armor begins to faintly glow a deep red, slowly getting brighter as more bombs impact. By the time the last of the bombs have finished impacting the vessel, the ship's armor is glowing bright red, even though no damage has been done to the ship. However, little does the AFOH know just how valuable their attack was, even though it did no apparent damage. For the AIF had been scanning the ship, and the revalation that sustained fire causes its armor to glow, combined with the fact that the alien battleship's armor had been glowing extrordinarily bright after it had been damaged, means the AIF may now have the data to figure out how to beat the alien battleship.
