Even Y-wings. It has better speed and maneuverability, and loads the same heavy weapons. I love it. It's all I fly in Fleet Battles for the Empire. From battle launch to end. I have 2x loadouts. One for the beginning of the match and one for the capital ship assault.

 

It practically vapes A-wings just blinking at them Standard smile

I don't have a problem with the dmg output of the bombers, but with how tanky they can be. A full overloaded clip is mit enough to kill a tanky bomber and I think that's wrong.

I personally did not run a lot into bomber only squadrons. Other classes are very much viable and I regularly switch around according to mood and tactical requirements. I like flying bombers, but they are far less maneuverable than fighters and interceptors and tanking only buys you limited time under sustained fire. 

I have seen other people complain about them being overpowered including seasoned veterans, so I may not be experienced enough to properly judge the situation with the limited time I spent online.

I messed around with the TIE Bomber and did not get much frags in Dogfight Mode, personally still Prefer X-Wings and TIE Interceptor. Maybe I am doing something wrong?

I'm not using them for dogfighting either and also prefer fighters - which you can also fit nicely for capital ship attacks while appearing to be less of a threat to the enemy who might focus defences on bombers. Sneak in and wreak havoc Wink

But bombers are also fun to fly, try different setups to fit your playstyle better.
