Lasers can strike just fine. And to bomb, you simply need to be a ASF. The fighters that are better than average at bombing are the ones with bigger engines, because ceding bombs slows you down. A Stuka or Riever carrying fifteen bombs is reduced to 2/3, but an Eisensturm with that load is a 3/5, and a Hammerhead is a 4/6.
As far as striking, all you need to do is be able to deliver the boom in one salvo. It doesn't matter if said boom is delivered via photons, lead, or missiles...boom is boom. :thumbsup:
